npx'ing a scoped package does not work about npx

[zkat]

@coderbyheart this is intentional: npx is meant to execute binaries, not execute arbitrary packages' main.

Just add "bin": "./index.js" and I think that'll work just fine 👍

Duh, my bad!
Works now as expected.
Thanks!

@coderbyheart Could you, please, go into detail of how this now works as expected? I ran into the very same problem just now and adding bin did not solve my problem. Then I tried running npx @coderbyheart/xkcd-password and got the same error (command not found).

Hm. Is your setup up to date? It works for me:

m@nanshe ~ % npx @coderbyheart/xkcd-password
npx: installed 19 in 1.686s

@coderbyheart Thanks for the info, must be my npm version then.

Actually this could fix it for you: coderbyheart/xkcd-password@f68e881

@coderbyheart Or I might not have flagged my executable properly at all, we'll never know :) Thanks for the tip!
