Running Ubuntu 16.04 with npm 3.5.2 & node 4.2.6..

npm install results in:-

Hiya @popey,

I'm not sure the dependencies used here work quite properly under npm 3. Can you try using NPM 2?

npm i npm@2
alias npm=./node_modules/.bin/npm
npm install

I just updated all of the dependencies (they were last updated in December!), including Babel, which was relying on a version of the Chokidar filesystem module that seemed to be causing the issue you ran into. It should also work properly with npm@3 now :)

Ok, tried and it's still a little unhappy.
