can't update generator-webapp

[heinhoang]

wins 8 node -v v6.9.1 npm -v 3.10.9 yo --version 1.8.5

I try to update generator-webapp to latest version by npm install -g generator-webapp but it pulls out

npm WARN deprecated minimatch@2.0.10: Please update to minimatch 3.0.2 or higher to avoid a RegExp DoS issue C:\Users\Hein Hoang\AppData\Local\npm +-- generator-webapp@2.3.2 `-- UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY yo@>=1.7.1 npm WARN generator-webapp@2.3.2 requires a peer of yo@>=1.7.1 but none was installed.

Hi, have you tried to scaffold project via yo webapp? What errors do you get when you run this command?

[heinhoang]

it outputs WARNING

I think generator-webapp upgraded successfully, what does npm ls -g generator-webapp say?

This bower error looks like you don't have Bower installed globally. What does bower --version say?

[heinhoang]

1. npm ls -g generator-webapp

C:\Users\Hein Hoang\AppData\Local\npm
`-- generator-webapp@2.3.2

1. 'bower --version'

'bower' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

thanks, but why it pulls out above WARNINGS?

[silvenon]

To install Bower:

npm install --global bower

I'm not exactly sure about the warnings, though the last warning means you don't have permissions set properly there.

[silvenon]

The key question here is: does it work? 😉
