Hi @rmraya, this error indicates TTK failed to install dependencies(Yeoman and SharePoint generator) locally for you, could you help attach more info for us to locate the root cause:
1> Open ttk output window and attach the error logs
2> Open ..fx\bin folder under your home directory and check whether the two packages are installed successfully(they're under yo and spGenerator folders respectively)
3> If answer of step 2 is no, try npm install yo@latest --prefix <HOME_DIRECTORY\.fx\bin\yo> --no-audit --global-style command to see whether the dependency can be installed successfully

Solved by downgrading Node. Current LTS version of Node should be supported.
