Amazing tuto, one silly thing, the _package.json needs version after name in order to work,
I did added "version": "0.0.1" and working perfectly now.

thank again,

rub

_package.json currently has no version field, which triggers an error when using "npm install".

There is a typo (<%% instead of <%) in Grunfile.js line 48: path: 'http://localhost:<%%= connect.options.port %>'

@tobiasoberrauch: I'm completely confused about the syntax, but I guess it's templating an interpolation delimiter (or something like that). There is no typo in Gruntfile.js, line 48. The generator fails if I change it.
