This would be due to a pathing issue in your terminal. Please make sure you have setup NVM for your shell using the following commands.

export NVM_DIR=“$HOME/.nvm”
[ -s “$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh” ] && \. “$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh”  # This loads nvm
[ -s “$NVM_DIR/bash_completion” ] && \. “$NVM_DIR/bash_completion”  # This loads nvm bash_completion

Verify that you can check the nativescript version from the terminal

nativescript --version

If that returns the correct version number please try the create-client again.

Thanks Bill, Switched to bash shell and maintained the profile. After this was able to run the

nativescript --version

I was then able to run the build properly.
