I get this error when trying to generate new app:

islam@islam-desktop-dev:~$ sudo tower new app

What version of node are you using? This is I think b/c either node 0.6 or 0.8 moved path.existsSync to fs.existsSync, so if you're using an old version of node then fs.existsSync will be broken.

Try upgrading your node version and let me know if that fixes it.

Using version v0.6.19 I'll try to upgrade to the current version and update you. Thanks :+1:

I had this issue too. Considered adding a helpful error message in this case?
