I'm getting errors when I type this in my terminal 

yo angular

First yeoman asks me if I want to use Sass, I answered no. Then he asked if I want to use bootstrap, answered Yes.

Then he says that there are conflicts between files and he asks if I want to overwrite these files, I answered Yes. And then I'm getting this:

    I'm all done. Running bower install & npm install for you to install the required dependencies. If this fails, try running the command yourself.

Looks like a permissions issue. Are you the admin?

Try running with sudo:

sudo yo angular

Long-term you might want to try and see if changing ownership of your node_modules directory fixes the issue:

sudo chown -R `whoami` ~/node_modules

Link to similar permission issue with NPM

  • The "ERR" messages are gone, but the TypeError: Cannot read property 'main' ... is stil there and there was no application made in my directory – Charlotte1993 Dec 25 '14 at 15:23
  • @Charlotte1993, looks like an issue while trying to install the wiredep dependency. Similar issue [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23806236/cannot-read-property-main-of-undefined) and [here](https://github.com/yeoman/generator-angular/issues/565) – Rei Mavronicolas Dec 25 '14 at 15:39
  • I changed the file permissions on the directory bower in charlotteerpels/.cache/bower to all users write and read permission, I'm the only user on my Mac, so it's not a really big deal. Now I'm trying yo angular again, and he's downloading many files from github from bootstrap, so I guess it's working (or at least I'm getting further than before). Now it's "stuck" at "jquery#2.1.3 bower_components/jquery app/index.html modified." But I've been told that this is normal! I'm letting you know if it worked! – Charlotte1993 Dec 25 '14 at 15:54

Changing the directory permissions on the bower directory in charlotteerpels/.chmod for all users to read and write, fixed it. My app was made in the wrong directory (my home directory), but there are solutions for that.

make sure you run

bower install

at least once. Bower asks a questions about reporting usage statistics the first time you run it and that will cause

yo angular

command to fail.
