Hi, i'd love to test your gulp plugin, but i needed to install on windows. Whaen try it says :

npm ERR! node v4.4.7 npm ERR! npm v2.15.8 npm ERR! code EBADPLATFORM

npm ERR! notsup Unsupported npm ERR! notsup Not compatible with your operating system or architecture: gulp-static-site-generator@1.0.2 npm ERR! notsup Valid OS: darwin,linux npm ERR! notsup Valid Arch: any npm ERR! notsup Actual OS: win32 npm ERR! notsup Actual Arch: x64

Is it supposed to do that or can it be fixed?

No, you can not install this on Windows, as it is not defined as valid os in the package.json.

I experienced a lot of issues with node modules on windows, especially when it comes to path and file manipulation. That's why i block windows for all my modules, that make heavy use of path/file actions.

I am working on Mac and Linux only and am not able to test or fix this for windows. (And honestly, i don't want to, because it's windows.) ;)

But feel free to test this for windows and if you like it and changes are necessary, please create a pull request. If you clone or download this package from Github, remove the os property from package.json and copy the package folder to your node_modules, you should be able to use and test it on windows (without any warranty).
