@akuntal You should install node.js 6+ (preferably 6.7). Refer to https://github.com/FreeCodeCamp/FreeCodeCamp/blob/staging/CONTRIBUTING.md

The solution in this link is to install a GNU patch which didn't work for me - could someone confirm the answer above as a working solution in stead please? I'm running 4.6.0.

Running node 6.8, on windows 10, still gets the same error

was having the same issue, but opening a 'git bash' and running cmd from there worked for me.
