When I tried to run npm run dev in my nuxt project, my console returned this message:

'nuxt' is not recognized as an internal or external command, 
operable program or batch file.
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! [email protected] dev: `nuxt`
npm ERR! Exit status 1

npm ERR! Failed at the [email protected] dev script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

I solved this problem.
I was looking in stackoverflow for similar problems and apparently the problem was the npm cache.
I will let a link bellow with the solution and a quick sample of what i did.

Link to the answer: npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE

Step 1: npm cache clean --force

Step 2: Delete node_modules by $ rm -rf node_modules folder or delete it manually by going into the directory and right-click > delete. Delete package-lock.json file too.

Step 3: npm install

To start again, npm start

Thanks everyone who take time to help, really appreciate.
