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.

# install yo
npm install --global yo

# install a generator
npm install --global generator-webapp

# run it
yo webapp

or via brew:

brew install yo

To create and distribute your own generator, refer to our official documentation

You can also run a local generator on your computer as such:

# Running a local generator
yo ./path/to/local/generator

• --no-color - Disable colors.
• --version - Print the current yo version.
• --help - Print yo help menu with the list of found generators.
• --generators - Print available generators.
• --local-only - Disable lookup of globally-installed generators.

Running yo doctor command can help you troubleshoot 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.

See the contributing docs.
