Unable to get npm install to run on Windows 7 64 bit

[mongonv]

I have been trying to get my first test app going with the angular-seed on Windows 7 64 bit, node.js 10 and cannot get it to successfully install.

I have tried uninstalling node, using 10 and 12 (12 has other issues), removing all the folders I can find relating to node, and cannot find what is wrong.

It always comes up with a warn on fsevents and a hard failure on the phantomjs stuff. Below is what comes out on the console when I run the npm install:

E:\Development\AngularJs\as1\angular-seed>npm install
npm WARN optional dep failed, continuing [email protected]

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

try installing PhantomJS using the following -g (global) command.

npm install -g phantomjs

Then

npm install

If this does not work try manually downloading PhantomJS from their site.
http://phantomjs.org/download.html

Since there hasn't been any response, I assume this is not an issue any more (one way or another).
