Deploying Nx Angular App errors with bash: nx: command not found

Hello,

I’m currently exploring deploying an Nx based angular app on Digital Oceans App Platform but am getting an error on deployment:

bash: nx: command not found

Originally I was using the following build command:

nx build [nx angular app name] --prod

And then I tried using:

npm i --only=dev && nx build [nx angular app name] --prod

you can try npx nx or yarn nx instead of nx

I had the same issue then i ran npx XX XX then it works, may be there is something related to configuration but the below solution works for me know.

use $ npx nx build [nx angular app name] --prod

and do not forget to change the configuration for your angular app in angular.json for the specific app

“serve”: { “options”: { “port”: 8080, “host”: “0.0.0.0” } },
