Was able to get around this with npm i @nrwl/cli@12.0.1 which seems to effectively install nx, may need to delete ~/.nvm/versions/node/v15.12.0/bin/nx or any other file conflict that comes up if you see an EEXIST error (also see related issue that happened a few months ago: https://github.com/nrwl/nx/issues/4311)

It seems the release 12.0.2 that was published 1 hour ago is broken.

I’ve just had to set the version to 12.0.1 when installing a package.

Example:

npm install -D @nrwl/nest@12.0.1

Can confirm npm i -g nx and npm i -g @nrwl\cli are working. Thank you @FrozenPandaz !

Can confirm that the migrate command is working as expected now. Thank you, @FrozenPandaz

12.0.2 is broken. 12.0.1 worked for me.
