Is this a part of a package that I don't have installed or something?

It looks like you're running node v0.10.30. execSync was added to node in v0.11. If you simply replace execSync with exec inside build.js, the code should still run.

Ah! I'll update node, then. That being said, perhaps node version 0.11.x should be specified in the dependencies section of the README.
