Cannot generate plugin through console (no replies)

I am currently working through Getting Started here:
https://developer.piwik.org/guides/getting-started-part-1

The following command is not available in the console:
./console generate:plugin --name="MyPlugin"

I get the following error message:
[InvalidArgumentException]
Command "generate:plugin" is not defined.
Did you mean one of these?
core:plugin
generate:travis-yml

Has the syntax for generating a new plugin changed?
