Can't start the server

[moaaz-s]

I just downloaded the starter and installed the global dependencies. when I run the server, I get this message:

I'm not sure if it is a local problem or something with the starter.
I'm using windows8

can you update node to 5+ and npm to 3+ you're currently at node 0.12.7 and npm 2. after you update node you can run the command npm install -g npm@3 to update npm

[PatrickJS]

what about npm run server:dev?

[moaaz-s]

same issue!
should I re-install global packages considering that I have upgraded node/npm ? or is it something else?

[PatrickJS]

yeah delete node_modules and run npm install again then install all of the globals again

[moaaz-s]

While Installing Global Packages, I got the following warnings/errors:

1- WebPack:

npm WARN optional Skipping failed optional dependency /webpack/chokidar/fsevents
:
npm WARN notsup Not compatible with your operating system or architecture: fseve
nts@1.0.8

2. Therefore problem for webpack-dev-server:

npm WARN webpack-dev-server@1.14.1 requires a peer of webpack@>=1.3.0 <3 but non
e was installed.
npm WARN webpack-dev-middleware@1.5.1 requires a peer of webpack@>=1.0.0 <3 but
none was installed.

3. With protractor:
