? What is the name of your app? soh identical hooks/README.md identical www/res/icon/android/icon-36-ldpi.png ...... ..... identical framework7/.jshintrc

I'm all done. Running bower install & npm install for you to install the required dependencies. If this fails, try running the command yourself.

@NomiJ, you are running the generator command using sudo?

Take a look at http://howtonode.org/introduction-to-npm

[NomiJ]

I tried without sudo earlier, It gave the same output as with sudo. Thanks for the link, manually trying "sudo npm install" worked for me

[arvindr21]

Okay, but that may not be a long term solution. Because you have to see the generator fail every time and then explicitly run sudo npm install.

[NomiJ]

So what is the long term solution? I just tried to follow the instructions from

http://thejackalofjavascript.com

@NomiJ The Instructions on my blog are only for installing the generator. I have not provided any info on how to setup NPM.

The issue here is that all the global packages you have installed, have been installed with a sudo since you do not have permission to the global npm folder.

The recommendation is to uninstall node/npm and install it again and this time, you need to set permissions to the global npm folder. Once that is done, you can install global packages without a sudo.

And then on you would not need sudo while managing npm packages.

Thanks.

Thank @arvindr21 for going beyond to help, figure and sort the actual issue.
