I have a problem: nodemon does not run off the npm script (e.g. npm start),
but if nodemon is called on the command line outside the npm script, nodemon runs as normal.
$ nodemon server.js
14 Feb 22:59:51 - [nodemon] v1.3.7
14 Feb 22:59:51 - [nodemon] to restart at any time, enter `rs`
14 Feb 22:59:51 - [nodemon] watching: *.*
14 Feb 22:59:51 - [nodemon] starting `node server.js`
How it is called in npm script:
package.json
{
...
"scripts": {
"start": "nodemon server.js"
}
}
When npm start script is run:
$ npm start
> [email protected] start /home/akul/Documents/aaa
> nodemon server.js
sh: 1: nodemon: not found
npm ERR! Linux 3.13.0-45-generic

I've been looking for a solution, but have not found one.
Answer
You can resolve this problem by adding nodemon to your package.json:
npm install nodemon --save-dev
The problem happens when nodemon does not exist in /node_modules/.bin.
Added --save-dev since it's required during development only.
