I cannot get the Yeoman setup working for the life of me.

When I attempt to run the following:

Aidans-MacBook-Pro:~ aidan$ npm install --global yo bower grunt-cli

However I end up getting the following (and when I try to check the versions, only Yeoman seems to be installed):

npm WARN deprecated npmconf@2.1.2: this package has been reintegrated into npm and is now out of date with respect to npm

I’ve already tried this guide, but have had no luck: https://gist.github.com/DanHerbert/9520689

Using Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.3

Could somebody assist me in figuring out why I’m unable to get this working, and how to fix it? It would be much appreciated.

  • From output „Please try running this command again as root/Administrator” – run `sudo npm install --global yo bower grunt-cli` – Krzysztof Safjanowski Mar 19 '16 at 13:48
  • Done. Was able to get yeoman installed, however I'm getting “bower/grunt: command not found” still. I tried installing them individually as well with sudo, but still no luck (even though they seem to install fine). – AidanParker Mar 19 '16 at 14:01
  • grunt-cli should be installed globally and grunt locally into project. bower should be installed globally – Krzysztof Safjanowski Mar 19 '16 at 14:29

Fixed the problem.

Completely uninstalled Node/NPM/etc by following this: How do I completely uninstall Node.js, and reinstall from beginning (Mac OS X)

Then installed Node.js through the installer, and then followed this page (video too): https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions

THEN started the Yeoman tutorial. All is working now!

You run into permissions issues. As issues shows up in the form of EACCESS errors during your installation process. Refer to the npm guide to fix permissions.

  • Following the first response, I was able to get Yeoman installed, and although I apparently can install bower and grunt, I’m getting “Bower/Grunt: command not found” when I try to check their versions. – AidanParker Mar 19 '16 at 14:03
  • Have a close look at http://yeoman.io/codelab/setup.html where its clearly mentioned to not use sudo as a work-around, so you can consult [this guide](https://github.com/sindresorhus/guides/blob/master/npm-global-without-sudo.md) for a more robust solution – Govind Sah Mar 19 '16 at 14:22
  • I am so lost with all of this. I followed that guide, and then followed this one to make sure I had a fresh start: https://gist.github.com/DanHerbert/9520689, however now I can't even get Yeoman to work let alone the other two. How can I completely start over and restart this doing it correctly? – AidanParker Mar 19 '16 at 14:49
