Install yeoman with npm.

I tried using the official angularfire yeoman generator. I felt it installed too much content for a simple app. I decided to do one myself. This generator installs basic modules to work with angularfire, and a simple setup using angular ui-router. From this point you can modify it to suit your needs and deploy your apps and websites much faster and maybe lighter and in more complex ways.
To install generator-angularfire-fab from npm, run:
npm install -g generator-angularfire-fab
Finally, initiate the generator:
yo angularfire-fab
