Deploy file not being created

[icurland]

After running npm Install and npm install –g grunt-cli I went to the index.html to enter in the App id. Then, I run the grunt command and I get to the point where the CMD prompt stops at Running "watch" task : Waiting.... Nothing is happening after that, its just stuck there waiting. I have successfully installed Map Series and have been able to get the deploy file but I cant get Cascades to work. I tried the same process with an older version of cascades , version 1.9.1, but was still unable to run grunt successfully.
