issue with npm i and gulp

[yanhackcode15]

Two issues: 1. after running npm i, got the following error:

Yans-MacBook-Pro:optionA yanhu$ npm i

I then removed the line in the package.json: "postinstall": "typings install", Then reran npm i and it workd.

I'm not sure whether I'd have issues down the road by removing the line.

2. after running gulp, I got the following error. Haven't been able to resolve it.
