Hi @laitver10 & welcome to Alfresco!

It looks like you're missing one of the pre-requisites - have you had a look at the required software?

HTH,

Hii @EddieMay thanks for reply,I have all dependencies related to this project.i have installed python 2.7, node.js version 12.9,npm version is 6.10.2 and also have yeoman generator. is it these error are related to the vs code??.

Hi @laitver10 

Have you tried running the command with --loglevel silly added? This might help track down the origin of the problem.

Hi @laitver10 

I've just installed the adf app generator on my Mac. Initially it failed due to not having XCode installed. I was getting the following output:

After I installed XCode everything else installed OK & I've now generated and ADF app.ADF App Generator intalled

So you may have to install MS Visual Studio before the adf app generator will complete?

HTH,

Thanks @EddieMay ,is it necessory to have a vs code editor only  or we can use any other code editor like sublime.

Hi @laitver10 

To be honest, I don't know this well enough to be sure. However, my suspicion is that there are dependencies that are covered off when you install Visual Studio on a Windows machine - this might not be the case with Sublime, for example. VS is free so I'd try installing it & then see how it goes. 

Good luck! Let us know how it goes.

Thanks @EddieMay  for your support

Hope, you installing with admin access.
