Checking installed Yeoman generators

What powershell command do I run to see what Yeoman generators I have installed? I'm assuming it's a npm command, but I have no idea since I'm new to CLI.

the yo command

This is what I'm seeing when I enter "yo" into the command line. I'm on version 1.0.0-rc.1.3.

Whilst the accepted answer is correct, it also prints alot of other noise to the screen. It also leaves you still within the yo command-line upon completion.

The official yeoman command just to see list of installed generators is

$ yo --generators

This exits the yo CLI upon completion. This is really helpful if you wish to pipe the output to another program etc.

yo generator

Of course, if your intention is to actually run a particular generator, and you only have a few installed, then just running:

$ yo

is the way to go.

yo generator two

You can find a complete listing of all published generators here

You need to setup node path:

export NODE_PATH=$HOME/.node/lib/node_modules/

In my case node is in HOME directory.

Running yo after this will list all generators.

you should be able to use yo -h in 1.0.0-rc.1.3 and it will list your installed generators along with their generator tasks they provide.

Just running yo should list your installed generators, and allow you to run them.
