Downgrading does not help. But installing graphql globally seem to solve the issue.

 npm install -g graphql

Does it work if you install it in the repo? some people like to avoid global installs

This is a known issue with apollo. I followed the suggestion to downgrade to node v14.17.5, and everything worked.

For me for apollo/2.33.9 was to call sudo yarn global add apollo. (npm doesn't work) (MACOS)

Very annoying issue, I installed graphql and apollo globally using node v 14. At the end this worked for me: https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-tooling/issues/2415#issuecomment-930173053

Now it works with node v 16 and w/o post install. 🤷‍♂️

Just install appolo into your dev dependencies, e.g yarn add -D apollo and use it like ./node_modules/.bin/apollo client:codegen

I’ve tried on a windows PC instead of mac with following versions
apollo/2.34.0 win32-x64 node-v10.15.3

That worked for me
