Installation
Installing Yeoman in an easy process that should take less than 10 minutes on OS X. We also provide notes on how to install on Linux or opt for a more custom installation, should you need to do this. At present, Yeoman is not supported on Windows (but we're working on it!).
Open up a terminal and enter in the following:
$ curl -L get.yeoman.io | bash
This will audit your system and see what of Yeoman's dependencies are currently installed, such as Node, NPM and Ruby.
This script will give you instructions on how to install what's missing. You're welcome to follow along at the more detailed Yeoman install procedure.
There are some extra troubleshooting guides available, as well.
Next, create a new directory to contain your Yeoman project, then enter in yeoman init.
$ mkdir myapp && cd myapp
$ yeoman init
We'll then ask you some questions to help scaffold your project out. Simple!
One of our goals is to implement an easy way to update to the latest version of Yeoman with minimal effort
on your part. We have included an automatic updater in Yeoman to bump you when a new version ships, but if you need to do it manually: npm update yeoman -g
You may want to uninstall the globally installed package by running the following command:
npm uninstall yeoman -g
So sad to see you go ☹
You may need to do a more comprehensive uninstall if you're having problems; see the troubleshooting guide in this case.
