Step-by-Step Guide to Resolving `quikdb` Not Found Issue

Verify Package Installation: First, check if quikdb-cli-beta is installed globally by running:
```
npm list -g quikdb-cli-beta
```
You should see an output similar to:
```
/Users/mac/.nvm/versions/node/v18.19.1/lib
└─┬ quikdb-cli-beta@2.3.7
  └── quikdb-cli-beta@2.3.7 deduped
```
This confirms that the package is installed.
Check Global Binary Directory: You attempted to find the global binary directory using:
```
npm bin -g
```
However, the correct command on some npm versions might not work. To check where the global npm binaries are located, you can try:
```
npm root -g
```
This will show you the global installation directory, like:
```
/Users/mac/.nvm/versions/node/v18.19.1/lib/node_modules
```
The global executables (such as quikdb) are typically found in the bin subdirectory of the path returned.

List Files in the Bin Directory: To ensure quikdb is in the global binary path, list the contents of the bin directory:

ls /Users/mac/.nvm/versions/node/v18.19.1/bin

You should see quikdb in the list of executables:

cdk                     npm                     pm2-runtime             serve
cdk8s                   npx                     pnpm                    quikdb

Update PATH: The next step is to ensure that the global binary directory is included in your system’s PATH. To do this, run:
```
export PATH="$PATH:/Users/mac/.nvm/versions/node/v18.19.1/bin"
```
Then, make sure the changes are persistent by adding the export command to your ~/.zshrc file (if you're using zsh):
```
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/Users/mac/.nvm/versions/node/v18.19.1/bin"' >> ~/.zshrc
```
After adding this line, reload your shell configuration:
```
source ~/.zshrc
```
Uninstall and Reinstall the Package: If the above steps still don't resolve the issue, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the quikdb-cli-beta package:
```
npm uninstall -g quikdb-cli-beta
npm install -g quikdb-cli-beta
```
This ensures that any issues with the package installation are cleared up.
Verify quikdb Command: After the reinstall, verify that the quikdb command is now recognized by running:
```
which quikdb
```
You should now see the correct path to the quikdb executable, for example:
```
/Users/mac/.nvm/versions/node/v18.19.1/bin/quikdb
```
Test quikdb Command: Finally, you can try running the quikdb command to ensure it works:
```
quikdb install
```
If everything is set up correctly, you should not see the "command not found" error anymore.
