Possible issue with vagrant box installation

[RobertByrnes]

I discovered an issue with the command blast:launch --install when ssh'ing into vagrant box/homestead. The same babel parser error that gets thrown sometimes when trying to run npm run dev in the same environment. It seems to be caused by simlinks set up between the repos on the windows host and the directories hosting the site in the vagrant box. When running the command from a terminal on the windows host it works fine (using npm installation on windows), after which running blast:launch (without --install) works from within the vagrant box. The usual work around is the --no-bin-links argument with the npm command. Will investigate further...
