That library is OSX only. Who's pulling that?

[iamkallolpratim]

can u please suggest me an ubuntu version?

[Foxandxss]

The problem is that we are not using that library directly. One of our dependencies are.

So , how can I setup a angular 2 project in ubuntu 14.04. Please guide me

This seems to be an old issue with npm and doesn't seem to be resolved.

Leaving the warning aside, it should work.

Which node & npm do you have?

[iamkallolpratim]

Node Version 5.9.0 and NPM version 3.8.3

Had the same error I restarted the server and browser and it all of a sudden started working.

[iamkallolpratim]

@wbeyda , explain me the process please

[wbeyda]

@iamkallolpratim , closed the browser tab. Stopped nodejs ctrl+c, then restarted nodejs "npm start", and opened a new tab 127.0.0.1:3000. Browser opened with the " my first angular app" h1 or whatever it says. I went into main.ts and changed the message to "my second angular app" saved the file and went back to the browser. The browser was updated with "my second angular app" so I knew everything was working. Also make sure your nodejs package is sym linked correctly for Ubuntu.

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

As far as I've read nodejs will always be broke on Ubuntu by default. I'd love to see it fixed by the next LTS release. But for now. It's what we have to do.

This issue is out of scope for this repo. Happy to consider a PR that fixes it if not too involved.
