Is this a copy/paste error or did you actually run 'thor adva:cms ...."

I assume that you're trying to generate an app. In that case, then the
command should be 'thor adva:app ../relative_path/to/some/directory'

Also, please note, that the path to the app should be relative. At the
moment the generator doesn't handle absolute paths, and I think that
'~/sites/cms' will expand to a relative path.

Okay, I hope that helps, if you still have problems, just check back.

oohhh...app is actually 'app' not 'your app name goes here'
i ran with this : thor adva:app ../cms and everything is working well
now

thanks for the help and the app!
