node.js | knex: command not found

knex binary will be installed in the node_modules/.bin folder.

If you are using [email protected] and above, use npx to access your local dependencies like:

➜ npx knex --version

Knex CLI version:  0.15.0
Local Knex version:  0.15.0

If npx is not available,

➜ $(npm bin)/knex --version

Knex CLI version:  0.15.0
Local Knex version:  0.15.0

Needless to say knex init command would work in both the options

➜ npx knex init

Created ./knexfile.js

either install knex globally

npm install -g knex

use npx knex this will read to your node_modules directory and run the bin/knex executable.

You installed it locally to your NodeJS project.

Sou you can const knex = require('knex'). But you can't knex -v.

To install it globally run npm i -g knex
