Doesn't seem to work when using Bash for Windows

I’m following the instructions at https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/setup.html to set up Angular2 for the first time locally and, after cloning this repo and not modifying any of the files, and npm installing, I can’t npm start. I’ve updated both node and npm and it’s still not working. I don’t know if this is a problem with quickstart or if it’s Bash for Windows disagreeing with npm, but this code isn’t working at all on my machine as cloned.

Full error message as follows:

$ npm start

Yes, you speak the truth, but is also true that when people talks about WSL, they refer to it as Bash for/on Windows (see OP). When they talk about git bash, they say gitbash.

If you want to change Bash for Windows to Windows subsystem for Linux on the readme, feel free to open a PR.
