You can ignore this warning. fs-events is required on macOS

Hi to all,
after upgrading to typescript 2.7.2 and angular 5.2.9 I am getting this as error!

npm ERR! code EBADPLATFORM
npm ERR! notsup Unsupported platform for fsevents@1.1.3: wanted {"os":"darwin","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"win32","arch":"x64"})

adding this to package.json solved the problem for me

 "optionalDependencies": {
    "fsevents": "*"
  }

"optionalDependencies": {
"fsevents": "*"
}

not acceptable for me. See how yarn handle this:
yarn install v1.15.2
