I try to run angular 2 project. There is package.json:

{
  "name": "angular2-quickstart",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "concurrently \"npm run tsc:w\" \"npm run lite\" ",
    "tsc": "tsc",
    "tsc:w": "tsc -w",
    "lite": "lite-server",
    "typings": "typings",
    "postinstall": "typings install"
  },
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "angular2": "2.0.0-beta.7",
    "systemjs": "0.19.22",
    "es6-promise": "^3.0.2",
    "es6-shim": "^0.33.3",
    "reflect-metadata": "0.1.2",
    "rxjs": "5.0.0-beta.2",
    "zone.js": "0.5.15"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "concurrently": "^2.0.0",
    "lite-server": "^2.1.0",
    "typescript": "^1.8.2",
    "typings":"^0.6.8"
  }
}

I run:

npm start

and I get:

Maybe I am running old version of node. I try to upgrade:

npm install -g npm

and again I get errors:

If you're on Linux you may need to run sudo npm install -g concurrently – rgvassar
@rgvassar - I am on windows using cygwin – Dariux
Your npm version is old. try npm-windows-upgrade .. just run 'npm install -g npm-windows-upgrade', then npm-windows-upgrade – Abdulrahman Alsoghayer
My favorite way to install or upgrade node/npm on Windows is with chocolatey give that a try if Abdulrahman's suggestion doesn't work. – rgvassar
for me worked when i downgraded to version @2.2.0 – heavyrick

After rgvassar comment, I tried to check the chocolate. I saw that npm is deprecated here:

https://chocolatey.org/packages?q=npm

But I also saw that npm comes with nodejs. So I decided to upgrade nodejs. After upgrade of nodejs, I saw that npm is upgrade also.

Then I ran in CMD as admin:

npm install -g concurrently

I saw also that npm is not supported on cygwin. But since cygwin also can access windows cmd commands, I still can use on it as I understand, just need to do installation on CMD.

It was installed succesfully and now does not throw this error anymore.

Thanks a lot, especially for quick comments!

npm install -g npm-windows-upgrade
npm install -g concurrently

This worked for me,on running cmd through admin
