Cannot install Ganache

[taigaisatiger]

Hello I have a problem where I am not able to install Ganache

node --verison is v16.14.2.
npm --version is 8.5.0.
nvm --version is 0.39.1.
I am using MacOS version 11.6.5.
Visual Studio Code version is 1.63.2.

When I run npm i -g ganache-cli, I get the response below.
I am not really sure what the problem is here, so could anyone help me?

ganache-cli is now ganache; visit https://trfl.io/g7 for details :-)

If you don't want to visit the link above you can try running npm uninstall ganache-cli -g && npm install ganache -g.

Ganache v7 is a new major version and contains some changes that may be breaking for some users. Also, the package was renamed from ganache-cli to just ganache.

This is what I get when I run the codes. When I run ganache on a different terminal in VScode, I get zsh: command not found: ganache.

Error: listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use
Since I had this error, I ran kill -9 <process_id> because I saw this solution. https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/37314/error-listen-eaddrinuse-8545#:~:text=This%20simply%20means%20you%20have,and%20if%20so%2C%20kill%20it.

But I still get zsh: command not found: ganache when I run ganache on a different terminal inside VScode

[davidmurdoch]

Sorry I don't know much about zsh. Maybe search for something like "node global module and zsh" to try to find a solution.

Ok, thank you.

If I were to restart this whole thing like you said here,
Whatever you do, don't try installing an npm package with sudo (if you already have you should really consider formatting your drives and starting over).

what should I do? And is there any way to check if I had run sudo before?
