Answer 1

I would like to answer my own question. The global npm install path was wrong for my computer.

npm config get prefix

Then I ran to put the path where it should be. This problem gave me a lot of head aches. Hope it helps someone.

npm config set prefix /usr/local

Answer 2

The reason is: sequelize is not installed globally on your cli. To get sequelize access to all your cli just do.

npm install -g sequelize-cli

The '-g' means global this will allow you to access sequelize command anywhere in your app directory.

After that you can do eg: sequelize model:generate --name User --attributes firstName:string,lastName:string,email:string,password:string

Answer 3

I prefer to avoid installing global npm packages. If you have sequelize as a dependency in your package.json, you can utilize sequelize-cli via npx.

$ npx sequelize-cli <command>.

For example, you could do $ npx sequelize-cli migration:generate --name add-a-column to create a migration file.

Answer 4

Had the same issue, then noted that sequelize-cli is the way to go ahead.

npm install -g sequelize-cli

Answer 5

I had this problem and solved it by running

nvm install node --reinstall-packages-from=node

and then reinstalling

npm install -g sequelize-cli

Before doing this I had an unfortunate Node Version Manager setup. My computer was running something like version 10, but installing sequelize in the path used by version 8.

Now everything is updated and works.

if you want to use sequelize-cli without install it globally , you need to run it from node_modules folder in your root project. that is node_modules/.bin/sequelize. try to run node_modules/.bin/sequelize help for more information about sequelize command line

if you're using Yarn

yarn global add sequelize-cli --prefix /usr/local

And run

sequelize init

Answer 17

I tried to initialize a Sequelize project using npm init sequelize, but I encountered an error:

npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Not Found - GET https://registry.npmjs.org/create-sequelize - Not found

However, I managed to resolve the issue by using npx sequelize init.

When you run npx sequelize init, it's akin to running the locally or globally installed Sequelize CLI's init command, bypassing the need to look for a package like create-sequelize.
