Working with the new hybrid app template

Hi guys 'n gals,

I was trying to get my app built with phonegap, using the new hybrid app template: https://github.com/mendix/hybrid-app-template\

However, I've been running into some issues, and I was wondering in what way my setup differs from people who DID manage to get it to work.

As far as I know the steps should be:

1. Download Zip package from Cloud portal
2. Install NodeJS
3. Unzip 
4. Browse to directory with Powershell / CMD
5. use npm install to download all dependencies
6. use npm run package to create a new zip file with your custom changes

Some information regarding my setup:

node -v

npm -v

npm install

As you can see, currently, I can't even seem to get past the npm install part. For some reason this worked yesterday, and my original problem was that the command

npm run package -- --env.target=test

didn't actually build a package to target my test endpoint, but always gave me a deployment package: the --env.target=test argument wasn't passed on to webpack.

As you can tell, I don't even get that far now...

I tried clean nodeJS installs, on different PCs, all with the same result.. Am I missing something obvious here?

Any help is greatly appreciated
