Troubleshooting

If you get permission errors on macOS/Linux, try:
sudo npm install -g next-lovable
Or better yet, configure npm to use a different directory:
mkdir ~/.npm-global
npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'
echo 'export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
If next-lovable command is not found after installation:
  1. Restart your terminal
  2. Check if the npm global bin directory is in your PATH: 
    npm config get prefix
echo $PATH
  3. Add npm global bin to your PATH if missing
If you encounter Node.js version compatibility issues:
  1. Check your Node.js version: node --version
  2. Update Node.js to 18.x or higher
  3. Consider using a Node.js version manager like nvm
