How could I make the raw command run just as the npm alias does?

I have the following inside my package.json:

"scripts": {
    "cypress:test": "cypress-ntlm run --config-file tests/cypress-config.json"
  }

And the command npm run cypress:test executes just fine.

But if I try to run the raw command:

cypress-ntlm run --config-file tests/cypress-config.json

, then I am getting the error: bash: cypress-ntlm: command not found.

I want to be able to run raw command as well as the npm aliased command.

Does the npm alias has some dependencies specific only for the alias? E.g. the cypress-ntlm in my case.

Try running your command prefixed by npx or npm exec. I'm not an npm expert by any means, but in my mind I've always equated npm run {script} as being almost equivalent to npx {script contents}. cypress-ntlm suggests in their docs running npx cypress-ntlm {options}.
