Same as here https://github.com/vuejs/vue-cli/issues/66 but that issue was closed without a solution.

$ vue init webpack myproject

  vue-init(1) does not exist, try --help

$ vue list

  vue-list(1) does not exist, try --help

$ vue --help

  Usage: vue <command> [options]


  Commands:

    init        generate a new project from a template
    list        list available official templates
    help [cmd]  display help for [cmd]

  Options:

    -h, --help     output usage information
    -V, --version  output the version number

$ vue help init

  vue-init(1) does not exist, try --help

fwiw, I was having this issue when I tried running vue after installing vue-cli globally with yarn.

Did yarn global add vue-cli and then had the does not exist issue.

Did npm install -g vue-cli and I don't have the issue - everything works fine.

Seems like a yarn or commander issue? commander reads the dir to sub-command's executable file but gets the parent dir of it.

[olegantonyan]

I don't have yarn installed

same issue here, but installed with yarn global add vue-cli

[christophemarois]

Same issue, also installed with yarn global add vue-cli

@olegantonyan Updating node and npm may help
I haven't tested globals with yarn yet

I think I'm facing a similar issue with npm.

Looks like it's a problem with the gulp-sourcemaps package. It's missing the src folder on version 1.8.0. I also download the latest version (2.1.0) and seems to have the same problem.

I cloned the gulp-sourcemaps locally and linked to the dependency vue-cli/node_modules/download-git-repo/node_modules/download/node_modules/vinyl-fs and it worked.

@olegantonyan Does updating vue-cli helps?

[olegantonyan]

@posva yep! just did npm install -g vue-cli, version hasn't changed (vue --version # => 2.4.0), but now it works

[eric-gm]

Had the problem with yarn global add vue-cli. Did an npm install -g vue-cliand it worked! Thanks @jingman

[pmackay]

Would there be an intent to get vue-cli to work with yarn, or is that not in scope currently?

[ieiayaobb]

Same problem, any updates about this issue?

[posva]

There's a fix at https://github.com/vuejs/vue-cli/pull/206 but I haven't tested it yet

[williamdekou]

I face the same problem so I use

vue-init command instead of vue init
This command is available in [email protected]
use
vue-init project-name

[6lackManta]

npm install -g vue-cli
this worked for me
