Do I need to install the @prisma/client package if I'm using the prisma-client generator?

Basically the question from the title. I'm new to Prisma, currently using

v6.16.1

v6.16.1

and according to most of the guides that I've read, the

@prisma/client

@prisma/client

package must be installed. But to my understanding, the

@prisma/client

@prisma/client

package is only used to "host" the generated client, which is not the behavior of the new

prisma-client

prisma-client

generator provider. So, should I still install this package?
