Alternatively you can use Create new > yeoman project... on the Start Page
Using the extension
When you select the menu option a command window will open and run the yo command.
Yeoman will list all the Yeoman generators (project templates) installed on your machine and prompt you to select one.
Once selected you'll be prompted for a name for your new project.
Depending on the generator you choose you may be asked additional customization questions.
Finally Yeoman will create your new project in your default Visual Studio new project directory.
Prerequisites
Npm
Yeoman relies on npm so you'll need to download and install npm.
You can get started with npm here.
Yo
To create a new Yeoman project you'll need to install yo using npm:
npm install -g yo
You'll also need one or more Yo generators. For example:
npm install -g generator-angular-basic
npm install -g generator-webapp
As Yeoman is language agnostic and can generate projects in any language (Web, Java, Python, C#, etc.) there are many generators available.
You can get started with Yeoman here.
