npm install error in Windows 10

When try to install npm dependencies gitbash show this:

npm WARN optional Skipping failed optional dependency /chokidar/fsevents: npm WARN notsup Not compatible with your operating system or architecture: [email protected] npm WARN [email protected] requires a peer of jasmine-core@* but none was installed. npm ERR!

What can I do to fix it? Regards

I've fixed this issue as follows. Probably not all the steps are mandatory, but this is the order I followed: I've updated npm to 3.10.7 and node to 6.6.0 I've edited the scripts/load_globals.sh to remove the "sudo" as we are on Windows I've executed it on git bash and it installed all the deps I've installed phyton 2.7 with the www.python.org .msi setting phyton as a global variable I've runned bower install I've runned the node-sass rebuild

Now comes the tricky part that I think was missing. As we are on windows, to execute things we don't have to use ./ and the npm start is saying:

./node_modules/bower/bin/bower install && ./node_modules/jspm/jspm.js install "." is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

So I do that commands without the dot:

node_modules/bower/bin/bower install (I had bower as a global, this did nothing, cause bower deps were installed on a previous step)

node_modules/jspm/jspm.js install And that installed some things.

After that, npm install stills crashing, but npm start launches the boilerplate

I think this boilerplate is a great idea, but maybe it should be more usable to Windows users, as the guide on the README is focused on UNIX systems.

Let's get this tested on Mac before moving forward. Can you submit a PR @Carlos-T?

Any updates @ivanhdzd, @Carlos-T ?

I wasn't able to find a proper cross platform way of executing the scripts. Maybe set up deps in package json instead of a script... And maybe install jspm as global... But I don't really like it... Sorry.

I would Also like this to have a dedicated build system for Windows,Linux & Mac.
