Unable to use percy cli 1.1

[gluip]

I am unable to install Percy cli on windows (Node 14.17.6 and npm 6.14.15). Percy CLI version 1.1.0

1. create new folder (percytest)
2. npm init in this folder (all defaults)
3. npm install --save-dev @percy/cli (this installs @percy/cli 1.1)
4. percy (in same command window)
5. error:
   'percy' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
   operable program or batch file.

Hey @gluip! This is because when it’s installed locally in a projects dependencies, the binary isn’t added to the windows equivalent of $PATH. You will need to use npx (npx percy …) or call the binary directly (.\node_modules\.bin\percy …). npx does the job of looking for a binary that matches the name for you.
