"npm start" failed on Windows 10 / Node 6.0

Append: If I switch the version of Node to 5.11.0, it works.

I am sure that I did not modify any files after cloning

Very thanks for following my question.

[bradstewart]

@wspl Thanks for the report. I haven't used Node 6 yet, but I will install it and see if I can reproduce the issue sometime today.

[adamwathan]

Same on OSX with Node 6

[bradstewart]

@wspl @adamwathan This should be fixed thanks to this PR (which has been merged). It's working for me on OSX with node 6, re open this if you still have problems.

[addorange]

@bradstewart @adamwathan hmm, appears to me after a fresh git clone on OSX with node 6.2.1 and npm 3.9.5 once again. Is there any advice to make it work?

[satyavh]

Have same issue, did fresh clone and NOT working
