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

Posted April 25, 2021
Angular DigitalOcean App Platform

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” } },
