The error is occurring when make tries to run touch node_modules/.uptodate. This command is not actually that important, but it would require some Unix-like touch command to be installed on a Windows system.

While I believe someone has built Hypothesis on Windows a long time ago, everybody who currently works on Hypothesis uses either Linux or Mac, so I fully expect there may be difficulties running it on this platform, especially with the backend "h" service.
