Yeoman is a node package so you will need to have Nodejs installed. Simply download and install the latest LTS version.
Once it is installed check the version with the following command on a shell terminal:
Input
npm -v
and if everything is ready to go then the version will be displayed
Output
10.1.0
Yeoman is then installed by npm
. This command will install the yo generator app globally on your machine.
npm install -g yo
You then need to install the Easy UI5
Generator with:
npm install -g generator-ui5-library
Using the generators is as simple as
yo
in the terminal. What follows is a friendly prompt to step you through the following steps:
Output
$ yo
