Is it possible to run the npx tool to execute packages in Azure

Question

Is it possible to run the npx tool to execute packages in Azure App service (Web application).

I am using:

• node: v10.19.0
• npm: v6.13.4

If i browse to nodejs on my local machine I can see the npx.cmd tool but if i do the same in azure i don't see it.

I tried running npm i -g npx which installed it, but to some random local appdata folder.

Answer 1

After my testing, I saw that under the windows operating environment, it is impossible to install with npm i -g npx.

But if you need to use npx, you can choose the Linux operating system.
