Answer 1

I too faced the similar problem. Revert to 2.0.0-beta.22 by running the following command:

npm install -g [email protected]

Many people reporting this issue with 2.0.0-beta.25

Answer 2

For me the problem was in npm... After updating npm install -g npm it to v3.10 everything worked fine.
