Error running yo feathers

[TrySpace]

When I run yo feathers, after it creates all files, an error about installing packages occurs:

npm ERR! Linux 4.2.0-25-generic
npm ERR! argv "/usr/bin/nodejs" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "install" "feathers" "feathers-hooks" "feathers-errors" "feathers-configuration" "serve-favicon" "compression" "winston" "body-parser" "feathers-rest" "feathers-socketio" "cors" "feathers-authentication" "passport" "mongoose" "feathers-mongoose" "--save"
npm ERR! node v5.6.0
npm ERR! npm  v3.7.3
npm ERR! code ENOSELF

also:

npm ERR! Refusing to install feathers as a dependency of itself

I'm pretty sure I have the latest versions of npm.

The npm-debug.log is also not helpful

As the errors says, it looks like you are trying to install Feathers into it's own folder (potentially a subfolder of the cloned repository). I just tried on Ubuntu and everything worked as expected.

@TrySpace which versions of yo, npm, and node are you running?

I can't reproduce this. I've run the generator multiple times today on multiple node versions and it's worked fine. I think it might be your environment @TrySpace. We recommend using nvm and node v5.0+. I'm going to close this. Please report back if you get it working or not and we can re-open if it's still an issue.
