title: Nodejs not starting web service for office addin
body: <p>Recently I jumped into creating office web add-ins and have created a couple using visual studio. But now, I have to change to creating add-in using NodeJS. I followed the official Microsoft instruction for the Yeoman generator and the installation works fine until I run</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>npm start</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>This logs.</p>
  <pre><code>C:\Users\***\source\secondapp&gt;npm start
