Running the app generator

To run and create a whole new ui5 project in es6 syntax, enter: yo appkit

You will have to go trough five steps:

1. Enter a project name that you like
2. Enter a service name which you would want to connect to and not the whole url.
3. Enter a module name or package name, that you wish.
4. Enter a name for the default View/Controller.
5. Enter a path in which the project should be generated.
   ../../ - Go two folders back and create it there
   ../output/ - Go a folder back, and place it in the output folder. (When folder does not exist, then it will be created.)
