Description

I updated to Chrome 60 and tried to npm install chromeless and got this error:

npm ERR! code EBADPLATFORM npm ERR! notsup Unsupported platform for inotify@1.4.1: wanted {"os":"linux","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"win32","arch":"x64"}) npm ERR! notsup Valid OS: linux npm ERR! notsup Valid Arch: any npm ERR! notsup Actual OS: win32 npm ERR! notsup Actual Arch: x64

Is this correct?
