Rimraf is not found when running with npx

[sandrocsimas]

Rimraf not found is returned when I run using npx.

$ npx rimraf lib
sh: 1: rimraf: not found

This only works when I have rimraf in my dev dependencies. Is this OK?

sandro@sandro:~/workspace$ npm install --save-dev rimraf

Try running rm -r ~/.npm/_npx and it should work. There was no bin for a few versions, probably you have an outdated cache.
