How to solve "unsupported platform for fsevents@1.1.1: wanted"

Question

I tried to install angular-cli, but I found this warn:

unsupported platform for fsevents@1.1.1: wanted"(OS windows 10).

I am beginner in Angular, so I am expecting simple solution to solve this.

Error message screenshot:

`fsevents` is ***optional***, and is only available on MacOS. It's perfectly safe to ignore this warning. — Claies, May 17 '17 at 04:22
sometimes it can cause errors... if anyone runs into this, can refer to this question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48898312/npm-error-unsupported-platform-for-fsevents-when-deploying-to-azure — John Smith, Jun 07 '18 at 02:28

Create an optionalDependencies in package.json instead of devDependencies:

"optionalDependencies": {
    "fsevents": "*"
}

This is just a Warning, so no need to take any further action. Go ahead and run your code.
