If I use npm run build (which supposedly calls ng build), I get Cannot find module './source-map/source-map-generator' coming from some ts2dart dependency...

I saw in package.json that engines is node < 5. I have node 5.1.0. Could it be the issue?

[gbataille]

that's it, at least for me. Downgrading to node 4.3.0 works. Don't know why though.

[sothychan]

I have not run into this issue at all. I'm running Node 5.5.

[gbataille]

agreed, works in 5.6 for me too...
so I think I used to be in 5.1. Maybe there is a problem there.
@mcwebdev which version of node are you using?

[jelbourn]

@hansl do you know anything about the CLI and required node version?

[hansl]

We test the CLI on Node 4 and Node 5 for every commits: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/blob/master/.travis.yml. This might be ts2dart specific.

[jelbourn]

Looks like it might just be with node 5.1, so updating node should be the solution for this.
