Troubleshooting

Known problems:

npm run build cp is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

You are using windows command prompt that sucks. Cygwin solves it. Or use git bash. Or use linux/mac.

npm run build fails

try updating your node/npm. Last time i checked the app it was working and i had node v6.10.2, npm v3.10.10
