Hi,

I am trying to learn angular 2. I have downloaded and installed node and npm via installer from node.js successfully. But when i try to download packages and local dependencies in folder 'angular 2-starter' which i had created, I am getting error when using sudo npm install command at the terminal. Its seems like a json error. attaching the log file and package.json file with this post. can you please help me with this

Thanks,

Gokul

please dump your package.json content in http://jsonlint.com/ and see if your json is valid

I get the following error when i use the jsonlint: I am not sure how to correct it

Error: Parse error on line 2:
{	"name": "angular2-starter”	
----------^
Expecting 'STRING', 'NUMBER', 'NULL', 'TRUE', 'FALSE', '{', '[', got 'undefined'

another nice tool to use is notepad++ it will show you the issues. embedded chars that mess things up. glad it worked
