I'm attempting to create my first Yeoman webapp using the ultimate-seed-generator. However I get the following errors:
C:\Users\Fidel\Desktop\Nueva carpeta\new-proyect>npm install

> ultimate-seed@0.3.12 postinstall C:\Users\Fidel\Desktop\Nueva carpeta\new-proyect
> node npm-scripts postinstall
npm postinstall script executed

I am pretty sure that node js and yeoman were installed ok. I think it can be a problem with Window and yeoman. Anyone know anything about it?
The problem is that the post-install script uses the unix cp command to copy files. Being that you're on Windows, that is not going to work
You can run the npm install under cygwin or some other unix-type shell on windows.
However, That package has been deleted from npm -- you should try to find one that is up-to-date and use that one instead.
