Error running npm install when trying to run the demo on Windows 7

[federicosan]

Does this really have something to do with the node version?

here is what npm is saying about this...

Hey @federicosan, try pulling latest master and try again.

[federicosan]

Hey @cookpete this was with the latest master, maybe the node version is the problem? I don't know what to do.

[federicosan]

Hi I updated to the latest node.js and npm but the error persists

The problem was that setting node_env on windows is different than on linux, prefixing set before every node_env assigment on package.json seems to have fixed the issue.

[cookpete]

Try and pull latest master again @federicosan. I've added cross-env to the scripts to deal with the env variables across environments.

[federicosan]

Hi @cookpete Thanks I wanted to suggest that, great you have already added this thank you.
