Generating Prisma Client

I am trying to better understand how to correctly import the client from https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/prisma-client/setup-and-configuration/generating-prisma-client I have used the new configuration: 
generator client {
  provider = "prisma-client-js"
  output   = "app/generated/prisma/client"
}
generator client {
  provider = "prisma-client-js"
  output   = "app/generated/prisma/client"
}
and see that to use the client I should import as follows: 
import { PrismaClient } from 'app/generated/prisma/client'
const prisma = new PrismaClient()
import { PrismaClient } from 'app/generated/prisma/client'
const prisma = new PrismaClient()
Below this I then see a section about @prisma/client? Should this be ignored if using the new way? Thanks!

You selected the carefully hand-crafted route. A dev artisan will respond soon. Meanwhile, the #ask-ai channel awaits if you're curious!

You are correct! If you are generating Prisma Client at a custom path, then you would need to import it from the path you have generated at, and not from @prisma/client
