Can't run on ZSH

[olgabot]

I'm able to npm install this module, and I recently switched to oh-my-zsh as my shell instead of bash, and I can't seem to use it, despite putting the $HOME/node_modules into my path. The full log is below.

Have you tried npm install bionode-sra -g?
Usually when you want to use a Node module as a command line tool you use -g to install it globally. If you want to install it locally in a project folder to use the JS API instead, then you don't use -g and do var sra = require(bionode-sra) in your code. However, even if you installed it locally, you can still find the bionode-sra executable in ./node_modules/.bin/bionode-sra and use it as a CLI tool.
You shouldn't need to mess with PATH and chmod.
I've just tried it in zsh and it worked (btw, I use fish).

Yes, that was the issue, thanks!
