This is the error log I get when I do npm start

Any help will be appreciated.

Also this is what I get after I do npm install

npm notice created a lockfile as package-lock.json. You should commit this file. npm WARN [email protected] No repository field. npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: [email protected] (node_modules\fsevents): npm WARN notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Unsupported platform for [email protected]: wanted {"os":"darwin","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"win32","arch":"x64"})

I created a pull request with windows instructions, but here they are.

Step 1 : Create a file in your home directory (usually your name) named .aws
In order to do this on windows, simply crate a new folder with the name .aws.
Step 2 : Create a file in that folder with the name credentials.file using notepad
Inside include this code
[default]
aws_access_key_id = [KEY FROM AWS]
aws_secret_access_key = [SECRET KEY FROM AWS]

	Replacing those codes with the ones found in AWS console This you get by logging into 
IAM (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-sec-cred-types.html)

step 3:  Install node from https://nodejs.org/en/
step 4:Install NPM from https://www.npmjs.com/
step 5 : Install git https://git-scm.com/downloads

Step 6: Run git clone https://github.com/alexa/interactive-adventure-game-tool.git in command prompt
Step 7: CD to that drive it will be in C:\Users\NAME\interactive-adventure-game-tool replacing name with your home directory name

so CD C:\Users\name\interactive-adventure-game-tool in command prompt.

Step 8 : Type npm install and wait, it will take a while
Step 9 : Npm Start and then allow, it should open.

Hope this helps! i saw this guide and couldn't believe they only made it for macs and nobody posted windows instructions!

Hi - I needed to edit the package.json in the "interactive-adventure-game-tool" folder to bump the version of require-dir from 0.2.0 to 0.3.2. You cannot just edit the file with an editor else the install will fail.
I used www.jsoneditoronline.org and re-saved the edited version. Look for line 38 ("require-dir": "^0.2.0",) and change it 0.3.2.
That got me past your error but then I still had a Python error (installed Python 2.7.X) after that and an MS Framework 4.0 (my computer) vs 2.0 (code) after that (which I haven't yet resolved).

I hope this helps!

I have had a problem with python and just installed python 2.7 from here
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2714/
and it finally worked...but the fonts doesnt seem to fit, so it looks a little bit different from running on the mac
