Most time i am using Docker for quick tests of new software. For the sake of convinience i just install and run everything there as root and throw away the container later.

It would be nice if yo could allow beeing executed as root like bower does.

Type of issue

🐛 bug

My environment

• OS version/details: Windows 10 64-bit
• Node version: 10.5.0
• npm version: 6.1.0
• Version of yo : 2.0.3

Expected behavior

I expect the version check to use the same proxy settings as npm does.

Current behavior

At work I'm sitting behind a company proxy and for some reason the version check fails while the install succeeds.

Command line output

PS C:\Users\xxqqvc\Projects\test> npm init -y
PS C:\Users\xxqqvc\Projects\test> ls

HELP !!

Hi guys, I got some trouble on installing Yeoman 1.6.0

Here my environement set :

• Macbook Air Mavericks (10.9.5)
• Fresh install of node and npm via node pkg installer -> https://nodejs.org/en/
• echo $PATH => /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/git/bin
• node -e 'console.log(process.platform, process.versions)' => darwin { http_parser: '2.6.0', node: '5.4.1', v8: '4.6.85.31', uv: '1.8.0', zlib: '1.2.8', ares: '1.10.1-DEV', icu: '56.1', modules: '47', openssl: '1.0.2e' }
• npm -v => 3.5.3

Here the output error on installing =>

I can install other npm package without troubles. Node and npm are both already up to date. I already completely uninstall and reinstall node and npm. I also trying clean npm cache using npm cache clean -f before run npm install -g yo

I also followed some same bug issue https://github.com/yeoman/yo/issues/213 and https://github.com/yeoman/yeoman/issues/1439 but no one resolved my problem

I even tried to install with the first node version available for [email protected] which is node v.012.0 but I got exactly the same error

Then I get back to my latest node version (5.4.1), I installed "yeoman-doctor" via npm install yeoman-doctor with success. Here is the output of yodoctor

I retrying to install "yo" npm install -g yo but I got exactly the same error as the begening.

Any help ? ^^

Thanks, best regards

I have tried removing and reinstalling and npm update but nothing seems to work

I have seen issue 128 & 129, tried the solutions there, and I still get the same problem.

I cannot install

When I type yo in my terminal I get No such file or directory. I'm on Ubuntu 13.10 and Yeoman worked fine until yesterday. I've already tried to uninstall/reinstall and to update with sudo npm update -g.

Every time the command is run, it spits out the following error:

I have boiled it down to base.js line 533 being the culprit.

Here's our man, yo, being all helpful and stuff.

Just a start! Anyone who has time to take a look and go, "Whoa dude, no," please do :)

Error

Yeoman previously successfully installed and ran on the computer. Yesterday it was noted the Yo commands were no longer found, nor the Yo version despite not being uninstalled or files altered since last use. An attempt has been made to reinstall yeoman as it was no longer recognised, but it now appears impossible to install.

My environment

• OS version/details: Mac OS Ventura 13.0.1
• Node version: v19.3.0
• npm version: 9.2.0
• Version of yo : N/A

Expected behavior

1. Update/Install Node to ensure up to date version
2. Run npm install -g yo
3. The terminal displays progress and confirms installation or shows an error
4. Running yo --version reveals current version as proof of install

Current behavior

1. Clean reinstall of Node via Homebrew to ensure no errors
2. Run npm install -g yo
3. Terminal doesn't indicate errors and appears successful installation
4. Yo commands are unsuccessful and 'command not found' is displayed

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Follow Tutorials set out at https://yeoman.io/learning/ or in the github

install yo
npm install --global yo

install a generator
npm install --global generator-webapp

 run it
yo webapp

Hi,

Windows 10 64-bit` My nodejs version is 10.22.1. The npm version is 6.14.6. yo version is 1.8.5. I'm in china, so I have some network firewall problem. I installed the yeoman through cnpm(v 7.1).

I have a generator from OpenText called generator-csui-extension-21.1.0. (npm link ) Then I create a project folder and command 'yo csui-extension'. I get lots of error messages like the following:

17 silly fetchPackageMetaData error for amodro-trace@^1.0.2 request to http://registry.cnpmjs.org/amodro-trace failed, reason: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN registry.cnpmjs.org registry.cnpmjs.org:80 18 silly fetchPackageMetaData error for csslint-stylish@^0.0.6 request to http://registry.cnpmjs.org/csslint-stylish failed, reason: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN registry.cnpmjs.org registry.cnpmjs.org:80 19 silly fetchPackageMetaData error for csso@^3.2.0 request to http://registry.cnpmjs.org/csso failed, reason: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN registry.cnpmjs.org registry.cnpmjs.org:80 20 silly fetchPackageMetaData error for eslint-config-defaults@^9.0.0 request to http://registry.cnpmjs.org/eslint-config-defaults failed, reason: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN registry.cnpmjs.org registry.cnpmjs.org:80

I don't know how to deal with it. Does it mean I need to install these things one by one manually? I find there're many files in my project folder but there's nearly nothing in the project/node_modules folder.

The worse thing is that yo can't scaffold after that. If I create a new folder like project B and yo csui-extension again. There's nothing happened except create a few of empty folders in project B.

I tried to use 'yo doctor', it told me 'everything looks all right'.

Does anyone have similar problems? What can I do to deal with it?
