Can't install 6.0.1 using npm

[emilkrebs]

When running npm i yeoman-generator or just run npm i when having the following package.json:

  "dependencies": {
    "yeoman-generator": "^6.0.1"
  },

I get the following output:

This does not happen when using version 5.9.0.

Hmm, I also have the same node-version. Do you know what happened there?

[emilkrebs]

AAhh, got it. Needed to install @types/yeoman-generator": "^5.2.12 Thanks!

[mshima]

Node or npm? yeoman-generator@6 requires node 16.
