npm install -g tsoa

    throw err;
    ^

Doesn’t work.

npm install tsoa
node ./node_modules/tsoa/dist/cli.js --help
Usage: node_modules\tsoa\dist\cli.js <command> [options]

Commands:
  swagger  Generate swagger spec
  routes   Generate routes

Options:
  --help, -h  Show help                                                [boolean]

Works.

Thanks! Maybe it could check the PWD that the command was ran from? Then it could still find the local package.json.

I think that’s a pretty good idea, I’ll most likely implement that.
