Would you run ./node_modules/.bin/gulp build.bundle.rxjs and try npm start again?

[JonCatmull]

Thankyou that has fixed it, out of interest why did this happen? Is it a bug or something I did?

[mgechev]

On any reason the postinstall hook didn't execute properly.

@mgechev I faced the same issue, thanks for the fix.

I too faced the same issue after adding a dependency.Thanks @mgechev

Using the seed on Windows Subsystem for Linux.
I ran first npm install, then yarn install which did not complete.
Maybe that's how I got this error. But Minko's fix fixed it.

sudo gulp build.bundle.rxjs

@mgechev Faced the same issue, thanks for the fix.
npm postinstall should also fix the issue just in case of multiple packages failures of post script.
