You can either do polymer init then select the project in an interactive shell, or you can specify a specific version to init, eg. polymer init polymer-2-starter-kit

Hi jsilvermist,

With the command "polymer init" I can only start a project in polymer 2 or 3. I need to start a project in polymer 1. For this reason the command "polymer init" is not valid for me.

This is very strange because I am following the instructions to start a project in polymer 1 of the official page of polymer:

https://www.polymer-project.org/1.0/start/toolbox/set-up

In this page, the polymer team recommend use the command "polymer init starter-kit" but it does not work.

Thanks for you response.

Best regards,

Hi Allen,

but "polymer-2-starter-kit" start a project in polymer 2 , I need start a project in polymer 1. The command " polymer init polymer-2-starter-kit" isn't valid for me. Also, with polymer init I can start a project in polymer 2 or polymer 3 only.

Thanks

If you need the Polymer 1 starter kit, you can clone the Polymer/polymer-starter-kit repo and checkout the latest version 2 tag, eg.

git clone https://github.com/Polymer/polymer-starter-kit.git
cd polymer-starter-kit
git checkout v2.2.0

I have shared this with the stackoverflow comunity:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50436746/polymer-1-polymer-init-starter-kit-return-this-error-template-polymer-init-st/50689399#50689399

(I am bulbasurmsr too)

polymer is very good, the problem that I see polymer is that there are a lot less people programming in this library in comparison with the reactive and angular frameworks.

thank you very much again!

Had the same problem when running - polymer init polymer3-starter-kit.

However, when i just ran ploymer init and chose polymer3-starter-kit, the error does not appear. Below is the sequence of commands
