Happened on -
Windows 7

Steps to reproduce:

This is the error I'm getting -

The build currently out on npm is old and there are some issues.

Can you try running by cloning the latest master branch?

There are instructions for setting it up in the README

Tested it with the repo clone

same error

Please update your node to 4+....it doesn't understand arrow function on
your current setup.

right, missed it in the prerequisites

maybe a good place to put this warning is right before the npm install -g angular-cli line.

That's where usually developers scan to see what their first step should be

Should I submit a PR for this improvement? or do you disagree?

[Brocco]

I don't think it makes sense to move the prerequisites. If they were moved right above the installation section then they're below the table of contents and someone could just totally miss them.

I nice alternative could be to put a link to the prerequisites in the installation section referring to the prerequisites to be more explicit?

Closing this issue as you've solved your problem. A PR or another issue to update the README is fine
