Generator for Engine in Rails 4

I created a mountable Engine in Rails 4. I am testing it with a dummy test application.

I created my install generator in

'lib/myenginename/install/install_generator.rb':

require 'rails/generators/active_record'
require 'rails/generators/migration'

module Myengine
  module Generators
    class MyengineGenerator < Rails::Generators::Base

      desc "Installs mygem and generates the necessary migrations"
      source_root File.expand_path("../templates", __FILE__)

      def create_migrations
        migration_template 'migrations/m1.rb', 'db/migrate/m1.rb'
      end

    end
  end
end

But when I run

rails g myengine:install

it shows error: 

Could not find generator 'myengine:install'. Maybe you meant ...

How to make generator for engine work?

The generator should be in lib/generators/myenginename/. Read up on http://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/generators.html#creating-generators-with-generators
