I'm unable to successfully execute yo ng2-alfresco-app on Ubuntu Server 16.04, node v6.9.1, and npm v3.10.8.I've tried using npm cache clean and rebooting without luck.My terminal output is below. Everything is ok on installing yo and the generator-ng2-alfresco-app. Any hints or help would be greatl

Tried uninstalling generator-ng2-alfresco-app and yo, then reinstalled without using the -g "global" option and things installed fine. I made a directory for my project, cd'd into that directory and ran the yo ng2-alfresco-app and luckily the generator banner showed up. Looks like this is resolved.

can you try to update node to the LTS version 8.9.1?

The official LTS version of node is 8.9.1. We use the 8.x branch for the Yeoman generators, the 9.x should also work fine. The 6.x is no longer supported.

There are native installers for various platforms: Node.js . You will have to upgrade anyway at some point, as you are not going to get any support for node.js issues for the non-supported version.

Did you try with other projects that require NPM? It could be a problem due to your firewall or some antivirus that blocks the download of javascript from internet. This kind of problem happens often on windows OS.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. Now everything seems to be up and node is running. Can you tell me how to access the application? What is the URL and what is the username and password?

Can you point me to a clear guide on how can i extend the default app that was downloaded

Hi I suggest you give a look here:

https://community.alfresco.com/community/application-development-framework/pages/get-started

the username and password are depending on your BE configuration. When you run :

npm run start

it automatically open the generated app in your borwser. For more info I suggest you to read the tutorial here :
