"config.json file is missing"

[nickshepherd1983]

Hello,

Firstly, thank you for all the work you have done building out the Templates and the CLI; they make the life of me and my development team much better.

I gave your instructions a try today, but I ran into a small snag, and I'm hoping you'll be able to help out.

When I run "dotnet new auth0blazorserver -o MyBlazorServerApp" from powershell I recive the folllowing exeption

>dotnet registration/cli-wrapper.dll
Auth0 CLI is installed.
ERROR: ************

I have the latest CLI installed and I am able to use it if I login my session.

Any ideas?

Can confirm I am encountering the same issue.

Using Latest CLI Version installed via scoop, and it is happening with all template types.

Hey @Kerpackie,
I think this is an issue with the Auth0 CLI installation.
You should check if the PATH environment variable includes the folder containing your Auth0 CLI executable, and if the HOME environment variable exists and its value is the path to the path to your Auth0 CLI executable as well.

Check out this thread for more details.

A PR on the Auth0 CLI documentation is open.

Manual installation instructions updated in the Auth0 CLI docs.
