Github has the source code, for the builded library (https://github.com/api-platform/client-generator/blob/master/package.json#L54) we need to tag a release. @alOneh should I tag one maybe?

@soyuka I recently made two releases 0.5.0 and `0.5.1, so I don't know if it will fix this issue.

@sergerdn can you try with this command ? It works for me on my laptop

npx @api-platform/client-generator https://demo.api-platform.com temp-debug --generator vue

On my side it is working too.
Please make sure you have seen difference between:

• npx github:api-platform/client-generator https://demo.api-platform.com src/ --generator vue // run from GitHub
• npx @api-platform/client-generator https://demo.api-platform.com temp-debug --generator vue // run from npm

https://github.com/npm/npx#invoking-a-command-from-a-github-repository

An examples:

• npx github:piuccio/cowsay // worked fine
• npx github:api-platform/client-generator // error

I guess you used https://github.com/api-platform/client-generator/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#tag-a-new-version-contributors-only ? I don't see the package.json at 0.5.1 though. I don't think that using this repository via github will work as the source files need to be transpiled ! Without a build, "lib/index" will not exist and we can't do anything about this unless we publish builded files.
