Hi @SumitThakran ,
Please validate the installation using the CLI directly. Check out the steps here. Reinstalling CLI might help if there are any manual steps performed earlier.https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/get-powerapps-cli
If you want to create PCF control using the 'pcf-scripts' command directly, please check the solution within the following article:
Please run the following command:
npm i -g
to install devDependencies globally firstly, then run your 'pcf-script' command again.
