any workaround or other libs to do this task

What works for me (node v18):

gh repo clone simonrenoult/code-complexity
cd code-complexity
npm i # runs build on postinstall
node ./dist/bin/code-complexity.js <target directory>

Not as convenient as npx code-complexity but does the job for now. Hope that helps!

Hi there,

Sorry for the delay, I released a fix in an alpha version for the incoming v5. You can try it out here like this: npx code-complexity@alpha . --filter "**/*.ts" --sort=score -cs halstead

[Sraleik]

npm install -g code-complexity

did the job for me (node 24.9.0)
