Issue doing an npm install on windows using git bash for angular.io quick start

Question

Trying to do an npm install on windows for angular.io quick start: https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/setup.html

Problem is once I've cloned I get this git bash error:

shasum check failed for...

This occurs when I do "npm install" on a windows with git bash.

Does anyone know any other angular4 seed apps I could use or a fix for the angular.io quickstart?

I can understand the frustration caused due to npm install. — Devendra Lattu

@DevendraLattu Thanks. I just want to get the angular 4 quickstart app running so I can test the view engine for an angular 4 app. In the past I've used Angular 2 and the performance was dreadful, especially on iPhone and Android devices for first time loading (I'm hoping with angular 4 that the initial loading of a app with several routes is much faster). — AngularM

That worked. But next I needed to find the .npmrc file under users. I then had to set: always-auth=false
