Hi, there I will be sharing today how to install and use Jhipster :

Local installation with Yarn (recommended for normal users)

Quick setup when using Angular

Install Java 8 from the Oracle website.
Install Node.js from the Node.js website (prefer an LTS version)
Install Yarn from the Yarn website
If you want to use the JHipster Marketplace, install Yeoman: yarn global add yo
Install JHipster: yarn global add generator-jhipster

Now that JHipster is installed, your next step is to create an application

Quick setup when using AngularJS 1.x

Install Java 8 from the Oracle website.
Install Node.js from the Node.js website (prefer an LTS version)
Install Yarn from the Yarn website
Install Bower: yarn global add bower
Install Gulp: yarn global add gulp-cli
If you want to use the JHipster Marketplace, install Yeoman: yarn global add yo
Install JHipster: yarn global add generator-jhipster

Now that JHipster is installed, your next step is to create an application

Local installation with NPM (alternative to Yarn)

This is the same procedure as using Yarn, with two differences:

Instead of installing Yarn in step 3, update NPM: npm install -g npm
Use npm install -g instead of yarn global add, for example:
- To install Yeoman, type: npm install -g yo
- To install JHipster, type: npm install -g generator-jhipster

Installation with Homebrew on Mac OS X

JHipster provides a Homebrew package, available on http://formulae.brew.sh/formula/jhipster. To install JHipster (as well as Node and Yarn), just type:

brew install jhipster

New versions of this package are published each time a new JHipster release is created, but it might take time for the Homebrew team to validate this package - so if you have an older JHipster release, please be patient or use the Yarn installation above.

Installation with Chocolatey on Windows

JHipster provides a Chocolatey package, available on https://chocolatey.org/packages/jhipster. To install JHipster (as well as Node, Yarn, Yeoman, Java and Git), just type:

choco install jhipster
