fsevents optional dependency returns not compatible with system

Question

Iam installing babel core 6.26.0 per this documentation, everything goes smoothly except for the following error:

npm WARN optional Skipping failed optional dependency /babel-cli/chokidar/fsevents:
npm WARN notsup Not compatible with your operating system or architecture: fsevents@1.2.4
npm WARN optional Skipping failed optional dependency /chokidar/fsevents:
npm WARN notsup Not compatible with your operating system or architecture: fsevents@1.2.4

I'm wondering if this is just noise? Or if there is a workaround someone might know of? I've seen some documentation around it but nothing concrete.

Yes, this is expected. fsevents is only supported on OSX, so on any other system you'll see a message that it has been skipped.

Okay that makes sense because I am on Ubuntu, thanks for the clarification – logos_164 May 27 '18 at 18:20
