aurelia - example, error installing dependencies

Question

I've been following the examples on the Aurelia site and with this one:

http://aurelia.io/hub.html#/doc/article/aurelia/framework/latest/contact-manager-tutorial/2

I run 'au new' and follow through the prompts and it gets to the "Would you like to install the project dependencies" question, and I say Yes and it then fails with the below errors. Does anyone have an idea on why? I have Node.JS and a GIT client installed.

Would you like to install the project dependencies?

1. Yes (Default)
   Installs all server, client and tooling dependencies needed to build
   the project.
2. No
   Completes the new project wizard without installing dependencies.

[Yes]> 1

Installing project dependencies.

I installed the GitHub desktop app (116MB). Seems this does not setup the environment variables correctly so I used the other (smaller client instead). This worked...

Uninstall your git client from control panel
Download and install this client instead https://git-scm.com/download/win
Try creating a new Aurelia project again
