1st time SP-Framework, yeoman generator creates error while scaffolding

[Stephan E.]

Hi there,

I want to deep dive into development with SP framework and I just setup my dev environment. While creating the first project with yeoman, many warnings (because of deprecated packages) and an error occurs. yeoman process never finishes.

How can I fix this? Thanks a lot in advance!

This is the last output:

WARN tar ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/selsner/source/sp_framework/hello/node_modules/.staging/@microsoft/sp-webpart-workbench-1c0b2054/dist/1.toolbox_7007eb6cf2cefb719a42.js'

Found the solution: I used nodejs 9, which is currently not supported. After downgrading to node 8 everything works.
