Expected behavior

Should generate module

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

nest new xxxx
cd xxxx/
nest g module user

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

I just downgraded my @nestjs/cli to 5.6.3, and I'm still experiencing the issue.

It must be something to do with my machine, but I've added typescript manually to my project and also to my machine globally.

Does the CLI have extra pre-conditions that I'm missing?

You probably don't have typescript globally
just type npm install -g typescript in your terminal

typescript installed globally should solve this issue. Also, I have just pushed a small fix that should make the installation of typescript optional

installing typescript globally solved the issue for me too 👍

Thank you, but I was having the same issue setting up Nest today so I think the small fix didn't work.
