I was following https://dev.office.com/sharepoint/docs/spfx/set-up-your-development-environment on Windows 10 machine. I opened command prompt window in Admin mode. installing NodeJS, npm and then npm install -g yo gulp and npm install -g @microsoft/generator-sharepoint completed successfully.

On the next page, https://dev.office.com/sharepoint/docs/spfx/web-parts/get-started/build-a-hello-world-web-part I created new folders (

md helloworld-webpart
, then
cd helloworld-webpart
) and started

yo @microsoft/sharepoint

After running for minutes, I've got

I tried a couple of times and got the same result.

npm -v 3.10.10 Node -v v7.5.0

I found similar questions: Gulp serve error : Cannot find module '@microsoft/sp-build-web' and Yeoman generator for WebPart can't find Github repo #spfx #spfx-webparts #spfx-tooling but none of the suggestions helped.

What helped me I found here: http://ericoverfield.com/update-sharepoint-framework-yeoman-generator/ In particular, the line:

npm update -g @microsoft/generator-sharepoint@latest

After the update, I see

npm list -g @microsoft/generator-sharepoint `-- @microsoft/[email protected]

The issue has gone. Now, I'm able to work.

I've heard of some people having some trouble with the Node v7... have you tried it on an LTS version like v6?

Also, are you running this from an administrative command prompt? I see that in the error above... worth investigating...
