Error: composer.json file does not exist

When following the setup instructions in the readme I get the following error when running:

foreman build /path/to/dir template.json

[Foreman]: Installing fresh Laravel app
[Foreman]: Done, Laravel installed at: /home/chris/Dropbox/Projects/Playground/foreman/
[Foreman]: Reading template from template.json
[Copy]: from /home/chris/Dropbox/Projects/Playground/foreman/ to /home/chris/Dropbox/Projects/Playground/foreman/
[Foreman]: Reading composer.json from /home/chris/Dropbox/Projects/Playground/foreman/composer.json

Error:
[Illuminate\Filesystem\FileNotFoundException]
File does not exist at path /home/chris/Dropbox/Projects/Playground/foreman
/composer.json

Do I need to also have an existing composer.json file when creating this? I thought the template.json file was the only thing needed to scaffold a new app as per the README.

Can you paste your template.json?

[brianwebb01]

Looks like your template is trying to copy in a composer.json from a path that doesn't exist?

[devcflynn]

the template.json file is exactly what is in the README with no modifications.

the command I am running from within my root dir for the example is:

sudo foreman build /home/chris/Dropbox/Projects/Playground/foreman/ /home/chris/Dropbox/Projects/Playground/template.json

I tried it with defining the absolute path for both params as well, still getting the error.
