I was facing the same issue with this dependecy when building other application.

Just for the sake of knowledge and to people who are not well used to NPM, and thus uncertain about how their applications will behave:

Since fsevents is an API in OS X allows applications to register for notifications of changes to a given directory tree. Running:

npm install --no-optional

Will do the trick, with no drawbacks.


It's not an error, it's just a warning: it's an optional dependency.


You can tell npm not to install optional dependencies by default using the command line below:

npm config set optional false
