Current behavior

Running npm run clean on a fresh clone produces the following output:

$ npm run clean

> [email protected] clean C:\ReviewCommunity\seed-test4
> npm run clean.js && rimraf node_modules typings && cd nativescript && rimraf node_modules hooks lib platforms && cd .. && npm i


> [email protected] clean.js C:\ReviewCommunity\seed-test4
> gulp clean.all.src.js

Expected behavior

npm run clean should not fail.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

$ git clone https://github.com/NathanWalker/angular-seed-advanced.git
$ cd angular-seed-advanced
$ npm install
$ npm run clean

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

Please tell us about your environment:

Windows 7 npm 5.3.0

• Angular Seed Version: 9ec7a06

• Node: node --version = v8.2.1

[amirtoole]

Can you try installing rimraf globally?

npm install -g rimraf

I'm not sure the clean script can work without rimraf being globally available.

@hellofornow I still get the same error. This does not seem like a "command not found" as opposed to a "path not found" error.
