  • What are you trying to archive here? npx help gives you that error because that package hasn't any executable (https://www.npmjs.com/package/help). If you check the package.json of that package, there isn't any "bin" definied. So npx doesn't know what to execute. See for example https://github.com/nuxt/create-nuxt-app/blob/master/packages/create-nuxt-app/package.json (or run it with npx create-nuxt-app example), which will execute this file https://github.com/nuxt/create-nuxt-app/blob/master/packages/create-nuxt-app/lib/cli.js (see package.json -> bin).

  • etcher

    Flash OS images to SD cards & USB drives, safely and easily.

  • Secondly, balena-etcher isn't installed via npx anyway. Checkout their repo (https://github.com/balena-io/etcher) on how to install it on your linux machine.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • nvm

    Node Version Manager - POSIX-compliant bash script to manage multiple active node.js versions

  • Okidoki. I honestly never used balena-etcher, so i'am not an expert on that. But i can recommend you to use nvm https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm, which is kind of versions manager for node js and npm. With that installed and running, you should be good to go.
