I have installed Newman and Newman-reporter-html in same folder, still whenever I run postman collection through CLI and trying to generate reports it displays following error: "ensure that the reporter is installed in the same directory as newman  
run `npm install newman-reporter-html`  
I tried everything, I have added screen-shot below and both Newman & Newman-reporter are installed in same node\_modules folder. My laptop is MacBook Air M1 chip.

Hey @science-astronaut-96

Welcome to the Postman Community! :postman:

Could you try doing a full global uninstall of both followed by a new global install:

```auto
npm uninstall -g newman newman-reporter-html

```

```auto
npm install -g newman newman-reporter-html

```

This seems like a obviously solution but this basic _reset_ has been proven to solve the installation issue.
