On my windows, even hoodie new appname fails because a multitude of npm errors. Version: 0.5.2 (node v0.10.26, npm 1.4.3, platform: win32)

can you gist the errors?

@svnlto I'm really bad at windows cmd, but I managed to redirect all output to a file. Here is the output of hoodie new appname -v: https://gist.github.com/davidpfahler/3640f6e8d440cebc3a13

@svnlto @ramstein74 Here is what I had to do to make it work:

1. install couchdb (as stated by the installation guide)
2. install git (which is missing from the installation guide)

@ramstein74 Let me know if installing both those (and of course, node.js) solved your issue.
@ffffux The installation instructions on the website for windows need to include git.

@davidpfahler git is already in the installation guide.

@ffffux oO I blame the coffee...

@ramstein74 I cannot reproduce your problem. Does the above procedure fix it for you? I not please comment and I will reopen.

[ramstein74]

I already have git ( do i need to update it?)
I uninstalled couch 1.5 and installed couch 1.6

Same problem here

@ramstein74 can you provide a detailed error message?
