I suggest:

Denim template 'template you tried to install' not found.

It's actually a programmer error to allow a user to install bad templates. And of course, all template module authors should be CI-ing their templates via dummy project creation.

I'm thinking more of something like ERROR: templates directoryNAMEnot found.

haha, we already have that.
