npm start Fails on command tsc -p src/

I’m working with:

node -v v7.10.0

npm -v 4.2.0

I execute next commands

git clone https://github.com/angular/quickstart.git quickstart
cd quickstart/

npm install

I saw that in the guide appears:

Doesn’t work in Bash for Windows which does not support servers as of January, 2017.

So I used:

• git bash terminal
• cmder 1.3.2
• babun 1.2.0

Always getting same error…

Happened to me when npm install didn’t install devDependencies. Changing the NODE_ENV to development seems to fix the issue.

That’s true @Foxandxss, probably it’s a problem with my node installation…

Anyway, after running:

npm install @types/jasmine
npm install "concurrently"
npm install "lite-server"

The Hello Angular message finally appeared on my browser…

I’ll leave the issue opened…as I’m new in angular, i’m not sure if it was an angular or a node problem…in this case I think it can be closed

Thanks
