Current behavior: Running npm install after cloning this starter project fails on Node 9.3.0 and 9.4.0 on MacOS unless the package nan is installed globally (this in turn is needed to build fs-events).

After calling ‘npm install -g nan’, npm install works on Node 9.3.0 but not on 9.4.0. On 9.4.0 installing ‘nan’ globally has no effect.

Expected behavior: npm install should succeed without requiring the installation of global NPM packages unless noted in the “Get Started” section.

Steps to reproduce: On macOS High Sierra with node 9.3.0 installed (I use nodenv to select different node versions), follow the steps from your “Get Started” documentation (clone the repo, cd into it, run npm install).

@justinhartman Yes this is the same error I got. Sorry, I should have posted the details myself. The only way I found to fix the issue was to go back to node 9.3, which however was no problem for me.
