     console.log("Event Raised");
};

How do I generate an html file with ejs in command line?

This is because ejs executable is not in your $PATH but in node_modules/.bin directory and shell couldn't find it.

Use npm'x exec command to run binaries provided with packages:

npm exec -- ejs ./template_file.ejs -o ./output.html

Or with an alias:

npx ejs ./template_file.ejs -o ./output.html
