Hi, there's definitely an issue in the code which I've submitted a PR for. Sorry for the confusing error.

I'm using Pop!_OS (which is pretty close to ubuntu). This seems to somehow work in most cases despite the error in the code.

The only way which I am able to reproduce the issue is if I am in a directory which has a node_modules/.bin/ng which means i've installed @angular/cli there. It also can't be an @angular/cli generated project as then it will have a different error. Sometimes, I forget to pass -g when installing packages and it ends up in that directory but I never clean it up.

Can you please make sure that there is no node_modules directory in your cwd? To be extra safe, you can try to do the following:

mkdir temp
cd temp
npx create-nx-workspace@latest hello8

This should not be necessary but might help you get past your issue.

i created fresh new folder

mkdir ~/Angular8

cd ~/Angular8

and then ran

create-nx-workspace hello8

And did it work?

Just tried again with what you said and got
