Building using Windows Linux Subsystem, fsevents

[futurepr0n]

Hi all,

I was using the Windows Linux Subsystem, I installed that, npm, git, nodejs, everything fine. Cloned the directory and went to build with NPM install and got:

npm WARN optional Skipping failed optional dependency /chokidar/fsevents:
npm WARN notsup Not compatible with your operating system or architecture: fsevents@1.1.3
npm ERR! Linux 4.4.0-43-Microsoft

npm ERR! Make sure you have the latest version of node.js and npm installed.
npm ERR! If you do, this is most likely a problem with the pty.js package,

Is this an error that I could potentially work around?

npm version 3.5.2 nodejs version 4.6.2

Issue was nodejs was not installed using apt-get but without these steps:

I installed the latest from the instructions, re-ran and was successful!
