@zoontek Somehow I manage to fix the issue, i removed the lock files and node_packages and reinstalling again. Now the command is reconegnized. Thank for blazingly fast response to my issue.

Confirmed, just update node.

Hi. Try upgrading to at least node 10. One of the dependencies, chalk, require it: https://github.com/chalk/chalk/releases/tag/v4.0.0

Latest LTS is v14: https://nodejs.org/en/

If you have to use multiple node versions, I recommend fnm: https://github.com/Schniz/fnm
