This error commonly occurs in Windows operating systems when the command is not added to the system’s PATH environment variable. The PATH variable stores the directories where the system looks for executable files, so if the ‘create-nuxt-app’ command is not located in one of those directories, you will encounter this error.

Possible Solutions:

1. Install the required package globally: Make sure you have installed the ‘create-nuxt-app’ package globally on your system. You can do this by running the following command:

           
             npm install -g create-nuxt-app
           
         

2. Check your system’s environment variables: Ensure that the directory where the ‘create-nuxt-app’ executable is located is added to your system’s PATH variable. Follow these steps to check and edit environment variables in Windows:
   • Search for “Environment Variables” in the Windows search bar and open the “Edit the system environment variables” option.
   • Click the “Environment Variables” button.
   • In the “System Variables” section, select the “Path” variable and click the “Edit” button.
   • Add the directory path where the ‘create-nuxt-app’ executable is located (e.g., C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\npm) to the list of paths. Make sure to separate each path with a semicolon (;).
   • Click “OK” to save the changes.
