yeoman error peerinvalid Peer [email protected] wants yo@>=1.2.0

Question

Running npm install -g generator-webapp gives this at the end of the npm-debug.log file:

18875 error peerinvalid The package yo does not satisfy its siblings' peerDependencies requirements!
18875 error peerinvalid Peer [email protected] wants yo@>=1.0.0
18875 error peerinvalid Peer [email protected] wants yo@>=1.2.0
18876 error System Windows_NT 6.1.7601
18877 error command "c:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe" "c:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node_modules\\npm\\bin\\npm-cli.js" "install" "-g" "generator-webapp"
18878 error cwd c:\Users\junto\Documents\My Web Sites\kita
18879 error node -v v0.10.17
18880 error npm -v 1.3.8
18881 error code EPEERINVALID

Running npm install -g yo results in a similar error:

19472 error peerinvalid The package yo does not satisfy its siblings' peerDependencies requirements!
19472 error peerinvalid Peer [email protected] wants yo@>=1.0.0
19472 error peerinvalid Peer [email protected] wants yo@>=1.2.0

19477 error npm -v 1.3.8
19478 error code EPEERINVALID

How do I solve this?

Found the answer:

You need to install yo 1.2.0

npm install -g [email protected]

I had to update npm as well:

npm install -g [email protected]
