Gatsby build failing when deploying to Netlify

Question

I'm currently trying to see my site on a staging environment, so I'm pushing from a staging branch. Not master.

It builds completely find locally. When pushing to Netlify, it fails.

The error I'm getting below:

The error you're getting is that the gatsby CLI is not available.

bash: gatsby: command not found

Check that you have gatsby in your dependencies in package.json. Note that it cannot be in your devDependencies instead.
Above the error message shown, you should see Netlify pick up either Yarn or NPM and install dependencies as appropriate. If it doesn't, you may have forgotten to include package-lock.json or yarn.lock in your repo (e.g. it might be in .gitignore).
To avoid issues like this in the future, add a "build" script to your package.json and switch the build command on Netlify to use it (e.g. yarn build or npm run build). This will ensure you're using the executable included in node_modules instead of a globally available tool.
