Unable to resolve sequelize package

I'm trying to install sequelize-cli in my Mac OS 10.12.6.

In Terminal, I did

npm install -g sequelize-cli

I got 

npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Please update to minimatch 3.0.2 or higher to avoid a RegExp DoS issue
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Please update to minimatch 3.0.2 or higher to avoid a RegExp DoS issue
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: graceful-fs v3.0.0 and before will fail on node releases >= v7.0. Please update to graceful-fs@^4.0.0 as soon as possible. Use 'npm ls graceful-fs' to find it in the tree.
/usr/local/bin/sequelize -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/sequelize-cli/bin/sequelize
/usr/local/lib
└── [email protected]

Then, I tried

sequelize model:create --name User --attributes name:string,complete:boolean

I got

Unable to resolve sequelize package in /Users/bheng/Sites/BASE

I even try with the --save as this post suggested.

npm install -g sequelize-cli --save

I got same result.

What else should I try ?

Before you create the first model you need to create new file .sequelizerc and get the below code:

// .sequelizerc

const path = require('path');

module.exports = {
  config: path.resolve('./src/config', 'config.json'),
  'models-path': path.resolve('./src', 'models'),
  'seeders-path': path.resolve('./src', 'seeders'),
  'migrations-path': path.resolve('./src', 'migrations'),
};

Then you might to run your cmd.

when downloading sequelize and sequlize-cli , you have to install both globally using -g option

npm install -g sequelize

npm install -g sequelize-cli

that's all

Yes. This is "normal" the CLI will try to find the sequelize package in your current working directory and/or in the node paths. So you could either install the package in your local dir or in any parent directory or in the global space.

you can try this one

npm install --save-dev sequelize sequelize-cli

npx sequelize-cli init

Once you get models migrations folders, means sequelize is working.

I had a similar case where when I was trying to run any sequelize command.

ie. sequelize init or sequelize --help

I would get the error:

Unable to resolve sequelize package in <my-project-directory>

None of the solutions above where helping my case but after farther digging I found this article talking about the importance of the order in which one installs dependencies.

I had installed my my development dependencies first (sequelize-cli before sequelize) and that's why it wasn't working.

Because this is a new project I just removed my yarn files and the package.json (left my other files untouched) and started over and this time I did:

  1. yarn init
  2. yarn add <my dependencies>
  3. yarn add --dev <my development dependencies>

This solved my issue.

In sequelize-cli package.json file, sequelize is mentioned as a devdependency which means it does not install it when you do npm install sequelize-cli. My guess is you have not installed sequelize itself and this is what the error says.

Unable to resolve sequelize package in /Users/bheng/Sites/BASE

install sequelize npm install --save sequelize (or global) and things should be good.

PS: Great answer on different dependencies and what they mean
