Latest version of node and npm causing problems in running karma. When I try to install karma-cli npm i -g karma karma-cli I get following warning:
npm WARN optional Skipping failed optional dependency /chokidar/fsevents:
npm WARN notsup Not compatible with your operating system or architecture: fsevents@1.0.8
npm WARN optional Skipping failed optional dependency /gulp-karma/chokidar/fsevents:
npm WARN notsup Not compatible with your operating system or architecture: fsevents@0.2.1
And when I try to run karma test, I get following error:

My configuration specification as follows:
Node version: v4.3.0
NPM version: 3.7.3
I am not able to get karma version installed, I think it's not installed properly in my machine.
This is not an error. It is a warning that fseventsd, which is Mac OS specific, cannot be installed on Linux.
There is no need to be alarmed, and the package that needs fsevents will still work - that's why it's an optional dependency.
Since many people are confused about this (particularly since this used to be a real error, not a warning) there's an open bug to make the current warning into an INFO instead
Additionally yarn already does this.
