• 1 perhaps index.js contains something tring to use "sh.exe" - can you post the relevant part of that code ? – Yahia Commented Dec 17, 2011 at 7:18
• 1 What happens if you run a command that's certainly not there? Same error message, or another? – Chris Morgan Commented Dec 17, 2011 at 7:26
• @Yahia - I'm trying to use this plugin github.com/NV/chrome-devtools-autosave/blob/master/README.mdown – Jitendra Vyas Commented Dec 17, 2011 at 7:35
• Nothing to do with git. Removed tag. – manojlds Commented Dec 17, 2011 at 7:48
• 1 @JitendraVyas I don't think that this is meant to be used with Windows... you wil have to setup some unix-like environment (mingw / cygwin / whatever...) and then try it... – Yahia Commented Dec 17, 2011 at 8:21

Node is not 'visible' in MINGW32 by default, only in the Windows Command Terminal. Same goes for npm.

How to add it (if you have Node installed), from the official MINGW FAQ:

MSYS uses a Bourne-like shell, hence you can change the PATH using the export command.
The easiest way to add something to the end of the PATH is with the command:

export PATH=$PATH:directory-to-add

So you have to add the directory where Node is installed (probably something like C:\Program Files\nodejs).

You are missing double quotes for path varible

export PATH=$PATH:"C:\Program Files\nodejs"

For me, I am using the Git Bash Shell, and what I had to do to add the bin file to my PATH variable is use this syntax:

 export PATH=$PATH:"c/bin/node"

You would think that it would be

 export PATH=$PATH:"C:\bin\node"

but that wasn't working for me. Hope this helps others that are running into the same issue.
