Cli error rendering stateDiagram on MacOs about mermaid-cli HOT 8 CLOSED

I just had something like this... You have "version": "0.5.1", the current is "8.4.8" - you're waaay behind.
Maybe you made the same error as me and installed the old "mermaid.cli" npm package? The correct package is installed with npm install @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli.

@tylerlong could the old repo be made more explicit about avoiding this confusion? warning signs, npm package deletion or modification to show a warning right away if installed?

@styts you're totally right, I was stuck against old repo, didn't realize there are two different repos. Removing the old and installing new one solved my issue. Many thanks for pointing me there.

@MindaugasLaganeckas There is still a confusion. I also made the mistake of installing from the old repo. I saw the updated readme and clicked on the link, but the new repo readme starts with mmdc commands, and I even scrolled a bit but did not see the install commands. I jumped back, expecting that I needed the install commands from the first repo. Then, only npm worked for me, but at least, it worked in parts (except for the autonumber).

The same outdated command is on the official npm site which is as outdated as the outdated old repo which made it even clearer for me that the command had to be right.

The install commands also did not seem strange or outdated as regards the naming. When I jumped between the repos, I did not look at the version. I have lost an hour or two with this. Stupidity, but it happens, especially with 50 tabs open. It would be best if there was a comment directly on top of the old install commands of yarn and npm saying that these commands are outdated.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/mermaid.cli (v0.5.1) : installation cli still mention the old repo, how are people supposed to know ? Is there someone updating those packages and wiki pages ?
