I am trying to set up a new dev machine. I run the command as specified in the documentation but I get many warnings and when it's done I get the following when I try to run the zapier command to login. Seems like the installation is just not working anymore. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

'zapier' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
 

I have Visual Studio 2019,  Visual Studio 2022, and Visual Studio Code installed.

npm install -g zapier-platform-cli

Okay, I figured out my own problem. It's been a while since I worked with Zapier and I didn’t realize that old version v14 must be installed. It was the “current” version the last time I set up a dev environment.
