zsh: command not found: actual-budget-template about actual-budget-template

[bdoherty]

Can you have a look in the folder that you have created and see what scripts have been created? Perhaps it will have a name like actual-budget-template.sh.

You may want to try typing actual-budget-template and then press tab, to see if it completes the command. Please let me know how you go, and then I can update the documentation.

Hi pressing tab does not complete.

This is what the folder looks like after installation:

Same behavior on linux. abbreviated tree:

.
├── node_modules
│   ├── @actual-app
│   │   └── api
│   ├── actual-budget-template
│   │   ├── index.js
│   │   ├── LICENSE
│   │   ├── package.json
│   │   └── README.md
...
├── package.json
└── package-lock.json

Top level package.json has no scripts at all. The actual-budget-template package entry point is present and executable. From the dir we created, running

npx actual-budget-template

executes the local package without any redownload. You could also be super verbose and use

./node_modules/.bin/actual-budget-template
# above is just a symlink to
./node_modules/actual-budget-template/index.js

To my knowledge, nothing in npm i adds the executable file to PATH or anything like that without the global flag, so I'm not sure how it was intended to work as written. It's always a great day for me to learn something new though :)
