Running sanity checks on your system

✔ Global configuration file is valid
✔ NODE_PATH matches the npm root
✔ Node.js version
✔ No .bowerrc file in home directory
✔ No .yo-rc.json file in home directory
✔ npm version

Your yo version is outdated.

Upgrade to the latest version by running:

but if I run 

 npm install yo

im not getting any problem

im using npm -v 6.4.1 node -v v10.13.0 and macOS Mojave 10.14

Solution

  • I try a different way I run

    yarn global add yo

    then 

    export PATH="$PATH:$(yarn global bin):$HOME/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/.bin"

    and 

    yo jhipster

    now jhipster is finally working 😀
