The book shows the following directory for the StockDog folder:

But I see something different. In particular, the folder bower_components is absent from my StockDog folder. Here's what I see:

QUESTIONS:

1. Why is the folder bower_components absent? (The book shows its presence at the top level in the StockDog folder.)
2. What am I missing?

***** UPDATE *****

I found that yo consistently hangs for a period of time at the same point, which is:

The are NO instructions to press return. However, pressing return continues.

After yo completes, the bower_components is present in the StockDog folder.

But why does yo hang with NO instructions? See my post #2.

I tried the following multiple times:

1. Create a new StockDog folder (ie. StockDog2, StockDog3 and so on).
2. Open Terminal, change working directory new StockDog folder.
3. run
   Code:

   yo angular newStockDogFolderName

When yo is working, the rectangular cursor has a rotating line inside it, suggesting progress but not yet done.

However --- always at the same point --- everything seems to come to a halt. This occurs at:

Here's snap shot of Terminal when yo hangs at app/index.html modified:

The rotating line is absent from the cursor. No line requesting import appears. At first glance yo appears to have completed. But the cursor prefix is missing.

Also note there are NO instructions to press the enter key.

I found that as soon as I press the enter key, progress resumes. (Progress always resumes after several minutes pause.)

After pressing return, a question appears:

Why doesn't that question appear when yo hangs? That's confusing, because there are no instructions to press return when yo hangs!


QUESTIONS:

1. Why is yo hanging at app/index.html modified?
2. Why are NO instructions presented to press return? (This makes working with yo confusing.)

It could be your computer that is slow or there maybe something odd about the configuration of node.js. I had no freeze but yeoman took a while(~4-5 minutes) even on my fast computer.

Have you run "bower install" command(in working folder) from terminal yet? That process creates the bower components folder.
