same error

How odd! Can you share the results of running with RUST_BACKTRACE=1, as the error output indicates? That will help us see why it's going wrong that way.

我试过了，使用volta或者类似的node管理工具时，node和PM2安装是只给一个用户安装，所以在执行sudo命令时会有问题，可以尝试给root安装pm2解决。 因为这个问题我决定以后再也不用nvm，volta这种东西了

Edit by @chriskrycho: Adding an automated translation from Apple:

I have tried. When using volta or similar node management tools, node and PM2 installation are only installed for one user, so there will be problems when executing sudo commands. You can try to install pm2 for root.

Because of this problem, I decided not to use nvm and volta again.

The command succeed after sudo -i

Tried with RUST_BACKTRACE=1, error with "pm2 not found"
