I'm trying to learn NestJS and just following simple tutorial to create nestjs app.

Getting following error while executing cli command nest new test-project

NestJS cli Version: 7.1.5 NodeJS Version: v10.18.1

Error:

If you have the following problem

> yarn global add @nestjs/schematics
yarn global v1.22.21
[1/4] 🔍  Resolving packages...
[2/4] 🚚  Fetching packages...
error @angular-devkit/[email protected]: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version "^18.13.0 || >=20.9.0". Got "16.20.2"
error Found incompatible module.
info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/global for documentation about this command.

Try to install the same version of @nestjs/cli as the @nestjs/schematics.

I install cli using yarn global add @nestjs/[email protected] so I have to install schematics using yarn global add @nestjs/[email protected]

I got the same error when creating a new nestJS project with yarn. What worked for me is doing the following:

  1. Clean yarn cache yarn cache clean
  2. Remove nest cli yarn global remove @nestjs/cli
  3. Reinstall nest cli yarn global add @nestjs/cli
  4. Create new project nest new project-name
  5. Choose yarn when given an option to choose package manager

As @Abderrahmane TAHRI JOUTI mentioned I followed the link and the above solution worked for me.

I faced this issure recently and none of the suggested issues worked for me. I tried using npm to install @nestjs/cli and also tried to remove @nestjs/cli and reinstall using yarn global add @nestjs/schematics. Finally a hit and trial that did work for me to run the following command using only and only npm

npm i -g @nestjs/schematics

After this when I tried to create my project using nest new cli command, it worked like a charm. After that you're free to choose and use npm or yarn as per your convenience.

Initially, I added NestJS cli with yarn and it gave the above error. The issue gets fixed as soon as I've installed NestJS cli with Npm after removing it from yarn.
