Use Nswag Console (from NPM package) in order to generate C# client

Question

According to the official Nswag command line docs it is possible to use Nswag via NPM console package (and subsquently generate C# client using openapi2cscontroller):

To use the command line tool nswag.exe (.NET 4.6+) / dotnet-nswag.dll (.NET Core), choose one of the following methods:

NSwag NPM Module: Bindings for the .NET 4.6+ and .NET Core command line tools (depending on installed framework/OS platform)

...

Sadly, except for the link there is no further documentation in that matter. I have installed the package linked in the documentation (using npm install nswag --save-dev), it is however either broken or further undocumented steps are required:

> nswag new
> nswag : The term 'nswag' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

@PhatHuynh thanks, installing it globally resolved the not-found issue, is there a way to keep the installation local to the solution? — wondra, Sep 30 '19 at 09:52
@PhatHuynh all resolved now - even though it turned out to be NPM usage problem, you can consider adding it as an answer. — wondra, Sep 30 '19 at 11:27
