I use the CLI command from here

I get error
‘n8n’ is not recognized as an internal or external command

Hi @Asaf_Shay, how are you deploying n8n? If you’re running n8n using docker, you would need to run this command in your docker container, e.g. something like docker exec -it n8n /bin/sh -c "n8n export:workflow --all" if your container name is n8n.

I am not using docker, i just download the n8n project and run “npm run start”

So how do you run n8n?

So you’re running n8n directly from the repository? In this case, the binary would be in the packages/cli/bin directory. So you could cd into that directory and run it like .\n8n export:workflow --all on Windows or ./n8n export:workflow --all on Linux/MacOS X.
