Required check list:

• I'm gonna mark the checkboxes like this.
• I didn't find in the Create Go App CLI repository's issues section similar bug.
• I understand, that the Create Go App CLI is Open Source and not-for-profit product.
• This is not about third-party project, framework, package or technology.

My environment:

• OS (uname -a): Darwin Sebastians-MacBook-Pro.local 19.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 19.6.0: Mon Aug 31 22:12:52 PDT 2020; root:xnu-6153.141.2~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
• Golang (go version): go version go1.15.6 darwin/amd64
• Create Go App CLI (cgapp -v): cgapp version 1.6.10

Describe the bug:

When running cgapp create the initiation of the frontend failed. It failed because I didn't have node installed. A better error message here would improve the UX.
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Have system without nodejs installed.
2. Run cgapp create
3. Notice the sparse error message.

Expected behavior:

A clear error message describing the reason for the error.

Cheers!

Hi, @SAThomsen! Thanks for this UX request.

Yes, I'll make this error message more user-friendly on next version.

Sounds create thanks @koddr:)! Been playing around with the setup package today. Looks great and I like the vision. Unfortunately I cannot get the setup to show me the React app with cgapp deploy. I get a 200 and a couple of

tags returned, when hitting localhost. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong here, but I'll need some more experience with the toolbox before I can actually trouble shoot it :)
