When I try to use yeoman and generator-backbone to scaffold a backbone app, I encounter some issues. Every time I run yo backbone, I receive the following messages:
After completion, it tries to run bower install for you in order to install necessary dependencies. If this fails, you may need to execute the command manually.
After completion, it tries to run both bower install & npm install for you to install the required dependencies. If this fails, try running the command yourself.
npm gives warnings such as “No description,” “No repository field,” and “No README data” in the package.json file.
Unfortunately, despite these steps, my directory remains empty without any scaffolding.
The sequence of actions I followed is outlined below:
- Create a new directory:
mkdir test - Change into the test directory:
cd test - Initiate the generator with:
yo backbone
I am unsure of what else to try, as my directory consistently ends up being blank!
