Yeoman helps you to kickstart new projects, prescribing best practices and tools to help you stay productive.
To do so, we provide a generator ecosystem. A generator is basically a plugin that can be run with the yo
command to scaffold complete projects or useful parts.
# First install a generator
npm -g install generator-webapp
# Then run it
yo webapp
To find a generator, visit http://yeoman.io/generators/
To create and distribute your own generator, refer to our official documentation

Running yo doctor
command can help you troubleshoot most common issues.
If doctor
doesn't help, then check opened issues for a similar problem. Open a new issue if your problem haven't been reported yet. Make sure to always include the version of yo
(yo --version
) and Node.js (node --version
) you use.
If your issue only occurs using a generator, please report the issues on the generator's repository.
