The whole line about installing the generator globally should be changed to: $ npx mediacenterjs-plugin-generator .. for OSX/Linux, as well as for windows

and btw: mediacenterjs-plugin-init would probably be more appropriate ...

added the npx line , thanks!

npx downloads and executes the package, then removes it again. No need for installation.

The place you added it to the docs should be a few lines further down, right above the code block or as first paragraph in installation, stating that this command makes it useable without any installation.
