Mystery

Can anyone help me? My steps and the console responses.

  1. step : npm install -g yo
  2. step : npm install -g generator-meanjs

And it works fine until the last question : Would you like to generate the chat example module? I wrote Yes.

Console wrote to me

Running npm install for you...

This may take a couple minutes...

Maybe one minutes later give me a very big error pile :D

I was looking for the solution and found it the node-gyp

So my 3. step: npm install -g node-gyp

Now 

C:\Users\BeerQ\Desktop\Mean Stack>yo meanjs
You're using the official MEAN.JS generator.
? What mean.js version would you like to generate? 0.4.0
0.4.0
? In which folder would you like the project to be generated? This can be changed later. mean
Cloning the MEAN repo.......
Error: Command failed: git clone --branch v0.4.0 https://github.com/meanjs/mean.git mean
fatal: destination path 'mean' already exists and is not an empty directory.

I copied this section git clone https://github.com/meanjs/mean.git meanjs and past in to Git Bash. The Git cloning into 'meanjs' to my porject. Why? Where did the errors go? What happend? Thanks for the help!
