Installation doesn't work?

[TheDutchCoder]

I'm trying to follow the installation docs, but I don't think they're correct?
https://www.graphql-code-generator.com/docs/getting-started/installation#initialization-wizard

Running npm run graphql-codegen init results in Missing script: "graphql-codegen"

Running it with npx results in a MODULE_NOT_FOUND error.

Make sure you run npm install graphql @graphql-codegen/cli before. Otherwise please create a reproduction by following this template;

I did, it still doesn't work. I only can get it to work with npx graphql-codegen init which is not directly in the docs (or at least it's ambiguous, as the docs say "The init process above can also be run through npx." which doesn't make it clear you need to drop the run part.

agreed, the documentations need to mention that it should be npx graphql-codegen init as this worked for me. Thank you for the solution.

Yeah there's a missing step that wasn't mentioned in the docs. You need to add the script to your package.json file

"scripts": { "graphql-codegen": "@graphql-codegen", /* Your other scripts */, },

hello, in my case it is didnt work "npx graphql-code-generator init" . I simply can't choose the answer - terminal throws me on a command line below

[igorek699669]

thank you!

I know this isn't ideal but you could roll back to a previous version, I have the same issue and it works at least as recently as 1.21.6

sorry but .. what module i need to lower version)?

[igorek699669]

and do i need to reset all back after init?

You can change this in the package.json under devDependencies graphql-codegen/cli.... you can use 2.10.0 - this works for me at the moment but there seems to be a problem with the current version. fresh nextjs installation and i´m not able to run init.
