Terminal

zsh: command not found: node

What it means
Your computer can't find Node.js, the tool that runs your app locally.
Likely causes
  • Node.js LTS hasn't been installed yet from nodejs.org.
  • You installed Node.js while your coding agent app was already open.
Prevention
Install Node.js LTS during the one-time setup and reopen your agent app right after.

Copy for your agent

You said “command not found: node”. I've reopened the app. Check `node --version` (we need 22.20+) and guide me if it's still missing.
