Angular 2: npm start not working?

I downloaded an Angular 2 example from the official website, ran npm install, then npm start. But npm start is giving me error.
I am using windows powershell (because ubuntu doesn't let me update to npm 4.3.0). I have typescript version 2.2.1, npm version 4.4.0, node version 7.7.1. This is the error I am getting
Any help is appreciated

If you really try 

npm install
npm build
npm start

and this message still appear, could you please tell us what is the last thing you wrote in your type script files.

Did you really get the code from here ? If yes, I did the following from node.js command prompt and worked as magic:

cd C:\..<your path>
npm install
npm build
npm start

enter image description here
