Hey @jose-uilton-ferreira.

The error

init: required argument missing.

seems weird as our Init script doesn't require arguments by default.

Could you give us more information about the different commands you tried before that ? Is the issue still happening ? Thanks 🙏

@jose-uilton-ferreira @Heyrows Upgrade your NPM version to the latest and the problem it's solved.

Had the same issue as @jose-uilton-ferreira and upgraded NPM to the latest version.

It worked!

But shouldn't something like "minimum NPM version required" documented somewhere?

Definitely, was using 14.x via nvm to fit another project's requirements and run into the issue

Confirmed @slicemachine/init works on Node 14 and npm 6.

Proposed solution

Update the minimum supported version of Node from 12 to 14. Node 12 is no longer maintained. Node 14 is under maintenance until 2023-04-30 (see here).
