. They both create my boilerplate properly. But anytime i try to build start my projects using

yarn start

I get this error:

Error: No build files found, please run nuxt build before launching `nuxt start

furthermore, whenever i run

nuxt build

I get this:

No command 'nuxt' found, did you mean: Command 'next' from package 'nmh' (universe) nuxt: command not found

but when i run

yarn build

it builds and running yarn start a second time works but without hot module reloading. I don't know what the problem is. I don't know whether my yarn is broken or nuxt. Please help!

nuxt build does not work from your command line, because you have not added it to your PATH variable. npm run build will look in your dependencies and use that instead.

To get a dev server running, use npm run dev . I believe by default it will start a dev server with live reload on port 3000. To build for production, use npm run build and npm run start .

thanks, i noticed that npm run dev, npm run build and npm run start work properly, but how do i fix this issue with yarn so that i can use yarn instead of npm. i want to run yarn start successfully. – Teddy McZieuwa Aug 12, 2018 at 13:49 @TeddyMcZieuwa yarn is a program built upon

npm

. If I remember correctly, you can use both


    yarn run dev


    yarn dev


    yarn run build


    yarn build

and


    yarn run start


    yarn start

. It executes scripts as defined in the package.json file. – Sumurai8 Aug 12, 2018 at 17:37 I know, it works well with npm but whenever i use yarn, i get the errors stated above. I am confused. – Teddy McZieuwa Aug 12, 2018 at 20:47 Thanks for the help guys, it was a little problem with my linux. I ran sudo apt upgrade and sudo apt update. This fixed the issue. It had nothing to do with nuxt. – Teddy McZieuwa Aug 24, 2018 at 22:04

In order to use nuxt commands ( nuxt build )

add nuxt to global using yarn global add nuxt

check out your package.json for available commands in the scripts property

"scripts": {
    "dev": "nuxt",
    "build": "nuxt build",
    "start": "nuxt start",
    "generate": "nuxt generate",
    "lint": "eslint --ext .js,.vue --ignore-path .gitignore .",
    "precommit": "npm run lint"
nuxt build or yarn build are commands for production build
Lastly,
use nuxt or yarn dev for development with hot module reloading
