Can you check if @capacitor/cli is installed on the project you are running the npx cap command?

I thought I did, seems to work now - though I was under the impression that npx installs library if needed? Anyhow thanks

It does both things, install the library if needed or executes local executables, but in this case it鈥檚 required to be installed.
Notice that for create command, as it creates a new app, you use npx before installing the cli, but you use the library name instead of the executable name
npx @capacitor/cli create
That creates a new project and installs @capacitor/core and @capacitor/cli on it.
