node_modules files are not excluded; BrowserSync not working

[mpduffey]

When loading the angular2-quickstart module onto an AWS Amazon Linux AMI 2015.09.2 (HVM), SSD Volume Type, I have installed:

1. node.js v5.9.0
2. npm v3.8.2
3. git v2.4.3

I cloned the angular-quickstart repo into the home directory and ran npm install.

The tsconfig.json from angular2/quickstart lists "node_modules" in the "exclude" property, as follows:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "es5",
"module": "system",
"moduleResolution": "node",
"sourceMap": true,
"emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
"experimentalDecorators": true,
"removeComments": false,
"noImplicitAny": false
},
"exclude": [
"node_modules",
"typings/main",
"typings/main.d.ts"
]
}

Despite this, when I run npm start, several files from the node_modules directory are listed as containing errors, as seen in the terminal output below. In addition, the BrowserSync option that refreshes the page following file changes does not execute when files are changed.

angular2-quickstart@1.0.0 start /home/quickstart
concurrently "npm run tsc:w" "npm run lite"

Seems like you don't have the typings installed there.

[mpduffey]

@Foxandxss - that appears to have done it. I ran "sudo npm run postinstall" and it installed typings, and server starts do not list out the node_modules files. I wonder why npm did not run the postinstall following npm install?

*I have run into another issue with the same configuration above. When running npm start, I now receive the following errors:
