Unable to create Foundation 6 app
byEric Richardson Friday, November 20, 2015 at 5:21 PM EST
Unable to install foundation 6 CLI.
Following the apps documentation I ran the following commands:
npm install -g foundation-cli bower gulp
gem install bundler
When I run foundation-apps new myApp
I get the error "foundation-apps" command not found.
I assumed it was a typo in the documentation so then I tried to run foundation -apps new myApp
I get the error :
":/usr/local/lib/node_modules/foundation-cli/node_modules/configstore/index.js:56
throw err;
^
Error: EACCES, permission denied '/Users/erichardson30/.config/configstore/update-notifier-foundation-cli.yml'

I have tried uninstalling and installing numerous times and can't figure out what's wrong

Running that command gives me the error message in my post. Any idea what could be causing that?

Just to clarify, if you run $ foundation new example you get an error?
in your initial post, you said running foundation-apps new myApp causes an error, which it would with the new cli.

The format of the command has changed. Just run foundation new and you'll get a series of prompts asking you which framework to use, what the name of the folder is, etc.

Please help. I'm unable to get this to work. Whenever I run:
foundation new appName
I am never prompted for which framework I would like to use. I've tried a million different things and can't for the life of me figure this one out.
I'm wondering if I have an old version of the foundation-cli or something. But every other post I read just sends me in a new direction.
The weird thing is, if I try and create a new Foundation App from the Yeti, it works, which is great, but I am really hoping I can resolve this for my system.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I just found that here on the web:
sudo chown yourusername:admin /Users/yourusername/.config/configstore/update-notifier-foundation-cli.yml
Now it seems to run.

@Phoenix H. Nice, glad you were able to find a solution.
The bug came from the library update-notifier, which the CLI uses.
It may point to an issue with your Node configuration. I'd recommend reading npm's guide on fixing permission issues.

@Geoff Kimball i ended up getting it fixed. My issue was actually with node. When I tracked it down I had 2 versions of node on my machine and that was interfering with Foundation CLI and it was using a really old version of node. Thanks for your follow up!

The command has changed, it's now
foundation new myApp
which brings up a prompt to select either a sites, apps, or email project.
