Unable to resolve sequelize package

Question

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

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 ?

Answer 1

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.

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

PS: Great answer on different dependencies and what they mean

Answer 2

I had the same issue. I installed sequelize-cli forgetting to add sequelize itself:

npm install sequelize

Answer 3

You will need to install sequelize globally.

npm install -g sequelize
