'npm install -g yo generator-code install issue [duplicate]

Ive been in and out of forums and discord servers all week trying to figure this out. so i installed the npm package in the title and got these warnings:

npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Please upgrade  to version 7 or higher.  Older versions may use Math.random() in certain circumstances, which is known to be problematic.  See https://v8.dev/blog/math-random for details.

so i told a few people and they said that it should run fine. so i ran it with yo code and i got a command not found message returned.

someone said to move my PATH. i did that and reinstalled and it didnt work. finally someone said to use npx yo code and it kind of worked. this is what i got

npx yo code

Solution 1:[1]

it's a very poor error (no information, let alone improper grammar).

in my case, i had a current version of yeoman-generator for my generator project, and a really old version of the global yo cli... So i fixed mine by npm install -g yo
