nest g controller operator

I get the following error:

After installing typescript globally i was able to generate controller
npm install -g typescript

@kgish your issue might be something else!

You can consider closing this issue if its resolved

I recommend opening this issue again since npm install -g typescript should be part of the documentation or it should be run by new new PROJECT command.
