Unable to create a new project with the Nest CLI

问题

I am following this tutorial to create a nest project. I have installed Nest CLI using this command:

npm i -g @nestjs/cli

I have checked the list of packages installed locally using the following command and found that it was successfully installed:

npm list -g --depth 0

but when I tried to create a new project using following command it gave me an error:

nest new project-name

Error:

nest : The term 'nest' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

At line:1 char:1

• nest new project-name

• 
  + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (nest:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
  
  + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

Why it is so? What's wrong with it? Can someone assist me in identifying the issue?

Thanks in advance

In most cases, it is better to use npx instead of installing global npm packages, since you'll always use the latest version and not clutter your file system with things you don't need often.

Just replace nest with npx @nestjs/cli for any command:

npx @nestjs/cli new project-name
