any workaround or other libs to do this task

[leomelzer]

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!
