EBS instance can't find NestJS nest command after being deployed

Question

Which is really strange because the logs indicate that the deployment is successful. That is, up until the `build` command is run.

eb-engine.log
```

```

I don't understand. That exact same build was successfully deployed on Vercel and is working just fine there. So what's wrong with my EBS environment here?

Accepted Answer

Ok so the problem was that NestJS needs the CLI to be in the dependencies to work.
And it was only in the devDependencies. How it could possibly work on Vercel (even though the install command omits dev there too), I have no idea...
