Javascript NestJS Error: Cannot find module '@nestjs/cli'

The '@nestjs/cli' package is not installed or missing.

Understanding NestJS CLI

NestJS is a progressive Node.js framework for building efficient, reliable, and scalable server-side applications. The NestJS CLI is a command-line interface tool that helps developers create and manage NestJS projects with ease. It provides a set of commands to generate components, services, modules, and more, streamlining the development process.

Identifying the Symptom

When working with NestJS, you might encounter the error message: Error: Cannot find module '@nestjs/cli'. This error typically occurs when attempting to use the NestJS CLI commands, such as nest new or nest generate, and the CLI is not properly installed or accessible.

Explaining the Issue

The error Cannot find module '@nestjs/cli' indicates that the Node.js runtime is unable to locate the NestJS CLI module. This usually happens if the CLI package is not installed globally or locally in your project, or if there is a misconfiguration in your Node.js environment.

Common Causes

  • The '@nestjs/cli' package is not installed globally.
  • The package is installed but not linked correctly in your environment.
  • There might be issues with your Node.js or npm installation.

Steps to Fix the Issue

To resolve this error, follow these steps:

Step 1: Install NestJS CLI Globally

Ensure that the NestJS CLI is installed globally on your system. Run the following command in your terminal:

npm install -g @nestjs/cli

This command installs the CLI globally, making it accessible from any directory.

Step 2: Verify the Installation

After installation, verify that the CLI is correctly installed by running:

nest --version

This should display the version of the NestJS CLI installed, confirming that the installation was successful.

Step 3: Check Node.js and npm Configuration

If the issue persists, check your Node.js and npm configuration. Ensure that your PATH environment variable includes the npm global binaries path. You can find more information on configuring your environment in the npm documentation.
