fsevents unsupported

Hi all,

I'm having some trouble getting Typescript to recognise the angular-in-memory-web-ap package. I've tried the following commands to install the package.

npm install angular-in-memory-web-api@0.2.4 --save --save-exact   -

or

npm install angular-in-memory-web-api --save


npm install file-loader --save-dev --save-exact 

import { InMemoryDbService } from 'angular-in-memory-web-api';

Which returns 

npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: fsevents@^1.0.0 (node_modules\chokidar\node_modules\fsevents):
npm WARN notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Unsupported platform for fsevents@1.1.2: wanted {"os":"darwin","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"win32","arch":"x64"})
npm WARN photoblog@ No repository field.
npm WARN photoblog@ No license field.

So as you can see I use Windows to follow along but one of the modules doesn't seen to be supported. Any ideas as to what I can do? :)

You shouldn't have any issue here despite the message. Note that is says "OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY". The fsevents package is more of a patch for OSX to fix an issue that doesn't affect other OS's.
