Npm postinstall issue with latest git pull

[donskifarrell]

Hi,

I'm having an issue when running npm install on the latest git repo code (i've also deleted node_modules folder completely in trying to resolve this issue).

I'm using node 5.1.0 and npm 3.3.12 - are these versions supported?

Here is the npm debug log with some more info:

Anybody experienced this issue or have clues on how to proceed?

May be you also need to clean the typings directory. You were trying to upgrade a project you already have with the latest version of the seed?

Try a fresh angular2-seed clone and run npm install. Let me know wha the result is and if you get the same error.

I just tried with a fresh angular2-seed clone and npm install works ok, but when I try to use npm start I am receiving the following erros: `root@ubuntu-4gb-nyc3-01:~/angular2-seed# npm start

angular2-seed@0.0.0 start /root/angular2-seed gulp serve --env dev

@koodikindral is it a fresh clone or you're trying to upgrade your seed?

@gustavolira @koodikindral would you send me the output of:

cd typings
tree .

[koodikindral]

used the fresh clone and everything works. Discard my comment :)

[donskifarrell]

Made a fresh clone and it's working now too with npm install and then npm start.

Other than node_modules, what other files are generated by npm install that need to be removed? Just the typings folder?

[mgechev]

@donskifarrell also test, tmp and dist.

[gustavolira]

The folder typings was not created

[gustavolira]

I created another user at server and now it's working
