Issue with npm start

I’m working through your series at the moment, still in the First Things First section, and I receive the following error when running npm start after cloning down the repo:

npm ERR! Darwin 16.3.0
npm ERR! argv "/usr/local/bin/node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "start"

The following Stack Overflow answer solved the issue and the project starts just fine:

Is this an issue with newer versions of Angular 2 or npm, or would this possibly be Mac specific? Might the line noted in the SO answer need to be updated within the project files? I’ve already done this and could submit it as a pull request if you’d like.

Following an answer further down in the same SO link I provided earlier, I deleted the node_modules folder, cleared the local branch I made to then branch off a clean master from the original clone. I then re-ran npm install which worked just fine, and npm start worked perfectly after that. I believe I’m still sudo’d in my terminal, but everything seems to be running just fine with the configuration you’ve provided.

Thanks for your quick responses to this matter and for reaching out to external sources to help resolve it.

I just did.

Thank you

I think this question is better suited to being asked on the main Pluralsite page for the video series.
