How to install latest to use with yeoman 1.0 beta?

[desimone]

Currently trying to use angular generator from source.

npm install -g yo generator-angular grunt-cli bower

From https://github.com/yeoman/yeoman/wiki/Getting-started-with-1.0
Fails with

npm install -g generator-angular
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/generator-angular
npm http 404 https://registry.npmjs.org/generator-angular
npm ERR! 404 'generator-angular' is not in the npm registry.

We haven't published it yet. We're releasing a beta later today.

Evidently one can install the angular generator from git:
npm install -g git://github.com/yeoman/generator-angular.git

While it appeared to install for me, yo doesn't seem to recognize it:

$ yo generator-angular
Error generator-angular 
Invalid namespace: generator-angular (or not yet registered).
Registered: 4 namespace(s). Run with the `--help` option to list them.

Drop the -g flag

I'm getting the same error when trying to install from the npm repository ('generator-angular' is not in the repository).

Also when I try to install from the unzipped Git project (company filewall blocks git protocol to github.com), it seems to work but when I run "yo angular" it gives the same type of error as kylehayes has (even when I install without the -g flag)...

Any advice?

[sindresorhus]

Advice: wait until we publish the angular generator later today ;)

[arkangelofkaos]

Reading the earlier comments, I thought you were publishing "later today" 2 days ago? ;)

In all seriousness though, thanks for the advice. Just been struggling with the install all morning... Happy to contribute to any installation instructions once you are live :)

[sindresorhus]

Yes, that happens. Some unexpected bugs and docs took more time than we thought.

Good to hear @sindresorhus, I'm looking forward to testing it out. Yeoman came highly recommended by a friend and so I'm anxious to see if we can use it here at work.

It seems awkward not to be able to do a general npm install -g for the generator, given that the rest of the related resources run that way, and that there is nothing project specific about the generator itself. For my Node projects, it just kind of slots in with the other NPM Modules and fades into the background. But for a project on which I'm using Go server side, and it feels awkward to see the node_modules folder mixed in. Not a big deal, but I'm just curious if anybody else felt that way, or if there's a fundamental reason why it could no longer work as a -g install?

or if there's a fundamental reason why it could no longer work as a -g install?

It is possible just not implemented and some hindrances in Node.
