/bin/sh: 1: nest: not found

I’m trying to deploy a NestJS project. While the build command works locally, when I try to do the same through Render, I get the following error:

Does anyone know why this may be caused?

Hi Dimitri,

How are you installing the nest library? You may need to ensure it’s available on your PATH. For example, you might need to have a build script that runs your npm install or similar, then add nest to your PATH with something like export PATH="$PATH:/opt/render/project/src/node_modules/nest/bin".

You’d want to confirm this is where nest was installed. And you may need to do the same as a part of your Start Command.

Let me know if that helps you make progress, or if you have any questions.

Regards,

Matt
