Installation problems. Grunt (serve).

[TravelTrader]

I cloned it and npm install leads to

npm WARN optional Skipping failed optional dependency /chokidar/fsevents:
npm WARN notsup Not compatible with your operating system or architecture: fsevents@1.2.9
npm WARN optional Skipping failed optional dependency /karma/chokidar/fsevents:
npm WARN notsup Not compatible with your operating system or architecture: fsevents@1.2.9
npm WARN grunt-watchify@0.1.0 requires a peer of grunt@~0.4.1 but none was installed.

But grunt --version:

grunt-cli v1.2.0
grunt v1.0.4

After npm start this is the content of the debug file:

23 error     grunt serve
23 error You can get information on how to open an issue for this project with:
23 error     npm bugs techan
23 error Or if that isn't available, you can get their info via:
23 error     npm owner ls techan
23 error There is likely additional logging output above.
24 verbose exit [ 1, true ]

I think it's similar to #64 (I am located in Europe/Germany) but I don't want to learn about docker. Or isn't it possible with npm for me?
I would be happy if you could help me get this fabulous tool running.
Thank you!
