I'm setting up Angular 2 Quick Start Tutorial from scratch on a virtualbox Linux machine build. I've followed all the instructions as part of the 5 minute quick start but when I get to the "npm start" I get this error:

/media/sf_testdev/angular-quickstart$ npm start

> angular-quickstart@1.0.0 start /media/sf_testdev/angular-quickstart
> tsc && concurrently "npm run tsc:w" "npm run lite" 

sh: 1: concurrently: not found

It seems the error is when it tries to run the command concurrently

sh: 1: concurrently: not found

you have to run npm install first to install the dependencies and then you will have concurrently, and everything should work fine.

  • concurrently is installed and I have ran npm install – Robert Oct 13 '16 at 21:54
  • I have thought that the command "npm start" will automatically call "npm install" when there are some missed dependencies. It seems that we have to run each command seperately, Anyway, it is a great reminder to run "npm install" first. Thanks! – MChaker Oct 16 '16 at 14:30
  • start is just a script you set up in the package.json. You could put anything there, i.e. npm start could run 'npm uninstall'. in his case, you look under scripts in the package.json and it is starting the lite server and the typescript compiler. – Eddie Martinez Oct 17 '16 at 13:41

  • That's because tsc command finds errors in the code. If you execute only tsc in terminal can you see the errors and fix it.

  • If you only run the app remove tsc && in start line, finally this is as:

    "start": "tsc && concurrently \"npm run tsc:w\" \"npm run lite\",

    to

    "start": "concurrently \"npm run tsc:w\" \"npm run lite\" ",

With it works.

Sorry I did dont see all the log, concurrently: not found is because concurrently module isn't install, deleting node_modules folder and executing:

npm install

Or installing specifically concurrently with:

npm install -g concurrently
