[SOLVED] CLI failing to run

Troubleshooting
1

Hi,
My partical-cli has stopped working, I've tried reinstalling and it looks like it installs but I can't run it from the command line.

This is what i get when I install (looks good to me)

[code]PS C:> npm install -g particle-cli

serialport@3.1.2 install C:\Users\Yendor\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\particle-cli\node_modules\serialport
node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

[serialport] Success: "C:\Users\Yendor\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\particle-cli\node_modules\serialport\build\Release\serialport.node" is installed via remote

Got it fixed by uninstall node then reinstalling node and particle-cli again.

I was thinking it was a ‘Environment Path’ issue but I didn’t know the right paths so for reference here are my current paths to do with node and particle:

PS C:\> $env:path -split ';' C:\Program Files\nodejs\ C:\Users\Yendor\AppData\Local\particle\bin C:\Particle\Tools\DFU-util C:\Users\Yendor\AppData\Roaming\npm
