forever module on node.js doesn't work - warnings

Question

I use windows 7 and nodejs 0.10.12. I installed the latest version of forever module like so

npm install -g forever

and then I typed

forever start helloserver.js

And I get the following

warn: --minUptime not set. Defaulting to: 1000ms
warn: --spinSleepTime not set. Your script will exit if it does not stay up for at least 1000ms
info: Forever processing file: helloserver.js

Now , I type

forever list

just to check and I get

info: No forever processes running

Also note that during the installation of forever I got these warnings

I guess the forever module is not installed correctly so cannot run the server? I don't get it and I cant think of a solution. Any suggestions/tips? Should I use node 0.8.x? Or there is a workaround?

Thanks

I think Forever, last version (0.10.0), work on Windows instability but not Linux. You can try following but i recommend you should choose another resolve.

forever start -c node script.js

Note: you can't list and stop in forever with "forever list".
