For me this happened on Windows 10 (x64) while trying:

 npm install dev

It has inotify as a dependency which itself works on Linux only. It's sad so many packages depend on dev which means these can't be cross-platform anymore.

I was able to remove dev from dependencies in package.json and still run the package I was interested in.

Try downgrading npm by running npm install npm@3.10.7 --force, worked for me !
