Can't use default project tempaltes

#1

Hi! I’m trying to init a new project using the html5 template that ships with middleman.
I followed documentation instructions:

middleman init my_new_boilerplate_project --template=html5

But it returns the following error:
Template html5 not found in Middleman Directory

I’ve been following the documentation, but I can’t find the step that I’m missing.

I also tried installing other templates, but I get the same error

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

I guess it’s because the new template system in middleman 4. Docs are probably outdated.

This seems to be actual list of templates: https://directory.middlemanapp.com/#/templates/all

Try this:
middleman init my_new_boilerplate_project --toydestroyer/middleman-mvcss-html5
