I'm having some trouble using json-server in the following way:
$ json-server --watch db.json
Every time I try to run that command, I encounter errors or warnings depending on the version of json-server that is installed:
1.0.0-alpha.1-1.0.0-alpha.12:sh: json-server: command not foundor (if on Windows):
The term 'json-server' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1 + json-server --watch db.jsonor (when executed via

Here's a simple package file (remember to update the version of json-server accordingly):
