As recommended here: https://github.com/yeoman/generator/issues/800#issuecomment-94304880 Due to this problem: #152

We should look at using npm to install WP. I am not entirely sure it is the BEST way, but it might be a fairly simple way to avoid the problems that #152 revealed.

How would we go about this? Include WordPress git repo as a dependency in the package manifest?

TBH, I'm not really sure what the best way would be. I was thinking something like making a tmp directory with a package.json, then moving everything over. But that seems ripe for problems.

There is another generator that is currently using .zip vs .tar, seems there might be an issue how tar is now being handled. I will fork and look into it. Is there a particular preference or reason why it should be tar?
