The following command doesn't work in windows CLI.

"serve": "bower install; firebase serve & babel -w scripts -s --retain-lines -d lib"

Here is my work around for package.son for those on windows experiencing errors. I left the original ones in for easy comparison. Just run Bower install manually and then win* scripts will work the same as the originals.

{
"scripts": {
"build": "babel scripts -s --minified --compact true -d lib; bower install; echo 'Done. Ready to deploy.'",
"win-build": "babel scripts -s --minified --compact true -d lib",
"serve": "firebase serve & babel -w scripts -s --retain-lines -d lib",
"win-serve":"firebase serve && babel -w scripts -s --retain-lines -d lib"
},

Thanks for package.json workaround, for anyone else who ends up here, make sure to double check the scripts path. Following the example provided by @tomtom215 I modified my package.json on windows as follows :
{
"scripts": {
"build": "babel public/scripts -s --minified --compact true -d public/scripts-es5; bower install; echo 'Done. Ready to deploy.'",
"win-build": "babel public/scripts -s --minified --compact true -d lib",
"serve": "bower install; firebase serve & babel -w public/scripts -s --retain-lines -d public/scripts-es5",
"win-serve":"firebase serve && babel -w scripts -s --retain-lines -d lib"
},

Hey guys. I finally got to fix this. Normally the scripts should be windows compatible now (using concurrently to run tasks in parallel). Feel free to try it out.

Since it's merged, the readme should be updated too, no?

[nicolasgarnier]

👍 Totally. Thanks for the heads up. I forgot about the readme :)
