• have you installed nodemon globally to your npm version? – jakemingolla Commented Mar 19, 2019 at 20:47
• 2 Did you install it with npm install -g nodemon (don't miss the -g ...) ? – Jonas Wilms Commented Mar 19, 2019 at 20:47
• Yes as the mand u have said I tried to install but it is not getting installed. I have tried both locally as well as globally but not getting the result – Gourav Kumar burnwal Commented Mar 20, 2019 at 2:38

Just go to the path and delete everything with the name of nodemon,even within the folders, then install nodemon again globally. This worked just fine for me.

I did the below:

1. npx mand ==> npm install -g nodemon
2. in package.json file ==> "start": "nodemon server.js"
3. in terminal used ==> nodemon app.js (app.js is my root file here)

Install npm gloabally by running this mand 
npm install -g nodemon
if you are using linux then run below mand 
sudo npm install -g nodemon
