Unable to get npm install to work from angular-seed template

[Ed R]

Hey All,

I have been trying to get the angular-seed template to run on my Windows 7 64 bit system and cannot get it to succeed on the npm install.

I have tried it with node 10 and 12, 12 thorws other errors.  I have tried removing everything I can find relating to node and reinstalling, have pulled angular-seed from the GitHub for Windows, the command line, and zip, and nothing seems to work.

The messages I get are as follows:

E:\Development\AngularJs\as1\angular-seed>npm install

npm WARN optional dep failed, continuing fsev...@0.2.1

Stumbled upon the same today, i realized the project was just left to rotten, recommend moving forward to other seed apps, at least, was what i did. :)

[Ed R]

Can you recommend another seed app to use?  Am having problems getting yeoman to install also, so not sure what seed to use.

[Julian Lyndon-Smith]

did you ever choose a seed app ? I'm looking for one now, but they all seem either very young or abandoned, or not following guidelines like John Papa's .. help ;)

Hi Julian,

Take a look at hot-towel from John papa.

I think this means that node is not defined in your path, or it's not installed where npm thinks it's installed.  Open a command window and paste in 

C:\\nodejs\\\\node.exe

and see if it opens.
