"npm init wasm-app www" fails

[Athorus]

Hello,

I try to follow this tutorial : https://rustwasm.github.io/docs/book/game-of-life/hello-world.html

I get an error when I launch npm init wasm-app www

PS C:\Orus\Prog\lmt\wasm-game-of-life> npm init wasm-app www
npx: installed 1 in 1.258s
events.js:174
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

I launched all commands in a PowerShell window.

Could you help me ?

Many thanks,
David.

In my case, this error simply meant that the path to git.exe was not in the $PATH enviroment variable. However, adding it to there only resulted in another error:
rustwasm/create-wasm-app#44

I had the exact same issue working through the same guide.
The problem seems to be the git setup on windows: git is not on the path.
Running npm init wasm-app www in a Git Bash console worked for me.

I'm running on Linux. After install git and restart console to refresh PATH, this bug fixed.
