Graphql-code-generator: Quick Start - does not work - gql-gen: command not found

[bastman]

Could you please help ?

I tried follow the Quick Start.

$ npm install graphql-code-generator
$ gql-gen init

-bash: gql-gen: command not found

[bastman]

this seems to work: $ node_modules/.bin/gql-gen init

Did you install graphql-code-generator in one directory and then change into another directory? If so, that module would not be found.

Other possible solutions would be:

• Install globally (npm i -g graphql-code-generator # yarn global add graphql-code-generator)
• Use npx (npx gql-gen init)
• Install and refresh your terminal session.

If you could give your version of NPM and your OS, that would be helpful. Thanks!
