fwiw, I was having this issue when I tried running vue after installing vue-cli globally with yarn.

Did yarn global add vue-cli and then had the does not exist issue.

Did npm install -g vue-cli and I don’t have the issue - everything works fine.

I face the same problem so I use

vue-init command instead of vue init This command is available in vue@2.4.0 use vue-init project-name

@posva yep! just did npm install -g vue-cli, version hasn’t changed (vue --version # => 2.4.0), but now it works
