Angular-cli: Error: Cannot find module 'exists-sync'

[MarsWang42]

osx: El Captain,
node: v 6.2.2,
npm: v 3.10.3

Angular cli created new project well, but when I using ' ng server ' to start the server following error comes out. Anybody knows how to solve?

Error: Cannot find module 'exists-sync'

Running this command fixed the issue for me. It will install the missing module 'exists-sync':
npm install --save exists-sync

Thx! But after installing the module it stiil crashed when I try to start the server. This time the error message looks like

(node:7087) fs: re-evaluating native module sources is not supported. If you are using the graceful-fs module, please update it to a more recent version.

This seems to be an error related to how typings was configured. Maybe it can be solved by creating a browser.d.ts file in your typings folder. I'm not too sure though, so you might be able to find a solution by looking at responses to some other similar issues:

I also received the same error when running 'ng serve' after creation of a new project with angular-cli. To solve this, I ran the "npm install" command from within the new project's folder. I was then able to run "ng serve" successfully.

I had similar issues while running:
npm version 2.14.12
node version 4.3.0

After updating to node version 6.2.2 and npm 3.9.5 all is working OK.

Maybe worth giving that a shot?

Duplicate of #1186. This should be closed.

Run npm install in the angular-cli folder globally and then run ng -v to check if working. After you have created a new project with the ng new command and ng serve should not work until you go into node_modules and angular-cli in your root project and npm install again.
