title: Angular app Deployment to Azure - Failed to Start npm
body: <p>I am attempting to deploy my Angular application to Azure. While I can successfully publish my application using Azure, I receive the following error message when accessing the published site:</p>
  
  <pre><code>AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. (One or more errors occurred. (Failed to start 'npm'. To resolve this:.
  
      [1] Ensure that 'npm' is installed and can be found in one of the PATH directories.
      Current PATH enviroment variable is: D:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs;D:\Windows\system32;D:\Windows;D:\Windows\System32\Wbem;D:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;D:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;;D:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet;D:\Program Files\Git\cmd;D:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;D:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v5.6;D:\Python27;
      Make sure the executable is in one of those directories, or update your PATH.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My current app's directory is already using node(npm) version 8.11.3, so I am unsure why my application can't seem to find it. </p>
  
  <p>Can someone help to point me in the right direction to solve this? I am an Azure newbie. </p>
  
  <p>Much appreciated.</p>
