  • Your log shows the root cause clearly: NPM is not installed and then abp install-libs exited with code 127. Exit code 127 typically means the command (npm) can’t be found in the environment/path.
  • ABP Suite’s Initialize Solution task runs abp install-libs, which requires Node.js + npm (and it’s recommended to use Yarn v1).

  Do the following on your machine (macOS):

  1. Install Node.js (includes npm)
     • Install from the official Node.js installer, then reopen ABP Suite / your terminal.
     • Verify:

  node -v
       npm -v
  

  2. Install Yarn (v1) globally

  npm install -g yarn
     yarn -v
  

  3. Re-run library installation In your solution folder (where ABP Suite runs tasks), run:

  abp install-libs
  

  Then run ABP Suite > Tasks > Initialize Solution again.

  If you still get a libs install error, delete JS install artifacts and retry:

  find . -name node_modules -type d -prune -exec rm -rf '{}' +
  find . -name package-lock.json -delete
  abp install-libs

  • Since node, npm, and yarn work in your terminal, but ABP Suite logs say “NPM is not installed” and then abp install-libs exited with code 127, this is almost always a PATH/environment mismatch: ABP Suite is launching the task in a non-interactive shell that does not load nvm, so npm is not on PATH for the ABP Suite process.

  Do this fix (macOS + nvm):

  1. Make Node/NPM available to GUI apps (ABP Suite)

     • Install Node with a system-level installer (so /usr/local/bin/node or /opt/homebrew/bin/node is always available), or ensure ABP Suite is started from a terminal session where nvm is initialized.
     • Fastest/most reliable approach for ABP Suite: install Node.js from the official installer (it includes npm), then restart ABP Suite.

  2. Workaround (no reinstall): start ABP Suite from Terminal so it inherits nvm PATH

     • Close ABP Suite completely.
     • Open Terminal (where node -v works) and start ABP Suite from that same Terminal session (so it inherits the environment).
     • Then re-run Tasks → Initialize Solution.

  3. Verify by running the same command ABP Suite runs From your solution root:

  abp install-libs
  

  If this succeeds in Terminal but fails only in ABP Suite, it confirms the issue is ABP Suite’s environment/PATH.

  4. Important note about Node version You’re on Node v22. If you hit any front-end dependency issues later, try switching to an LTS Node version via nvm (commonly works best for Angular toolchains), then rerun:

  abp install-libs

  Issue : Instead of direct node installation i used nvm

  Node and npm are available in a basic non-interactive shell

  so i followed the below on my Mac m3

  > which node                                                         
  /Users/princepark/.nvm/versions/node/v22.22.0/bin/node
  > which npm
  /Users/princepark/.nvm/versions/node/v22.22.0/bin/npm
  > sudo ln -s ~/.nvm/versions/node/v22.22.0/bin/node /usr/local/bin/node
  > sudo ln -s ~/.nvm/versions/node/v22.22.0/bin/npm /usr/local/bin/npm
  > sudo ln -s ~/.nvm/versions/node/v22.22.0/bin/npx /usr/local/bin/npx
  

  One I have done this, then i have restarted abpstudio, and everthing is owrking now as expected
