Angular Gulp setup with latest NodeJS version

Question

I have been following the repo A healthy Gulp Setup for the gulp setup of my AngularJS project.

I can successfully proceed with this in an older version of nodejs. But on my another system, I have installed a newer version " NodeJS 4.2.2 " and I get many dependency errors.

At initial try of npm install I got the error

npm WARN engine karma@0.10.10: wanted: {"node":"~0.8 || ~0.10"} (current: {"node
":"4.2.2","npm":"2.14.7"})

I tried modifying the karma version in package.json from 0.10 to 0.13 . This time the npm install hangs for hours while processing bufferutil.

 )  else (node  rebuild )

Is there any work around for this? I would prefer going with latest node version. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

Try angularcoffee-boilerplate , this is a project template for AngularJS where npm and Gulp are preconfigured. Just clone the project, install prerequisites with the script install_prerequisites.bat and start the server with the command npm start
