Installation Issue

Hi! Cool Repository. I was following the installation guide for your custom server branch of Pokemon Showdown https://poke-env.readthedocs.io/en/stable/getting_started.html#installing-poke-env to start contributing/testing doubles. However, when running: node pokemon-showdown, I got the following error: Installing dependencies... npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: fsevents@~2.1.2 (node_modules\chokidar\node_modules\fsevents): npm WARN notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Unsupported platform for fsevents@2.1.3: wanted {"os":"darwin","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"win32","arch":"x64"}) npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\zac\Dropbox\DesktopSaving\Desktop\cmc\College Classes Documents\CPSI040\Pokemon Battle Simulator\hsavovic\pokemon-showdown\node_modules\tar-stream\package.json' npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\zac\Dropbox\DesktopSaving\Desktop\cmc\College Classes Documents\CPSI040\Pokemon Battle Simulator\hsavovic\pokemon-showdown\node_modules\optimist\package.json'

Thanks for opening this issue. Which version of node are you running? Can you try upgrading it?
