Problem running gatsby development server

Very strange. I'm checking now. Thanks for letting me know.

@threebasicparts Ok I figured it out. Someone else had this problem. https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-blog/issues/110

I tried it with gatsby new and it worked on my machine, but then it didn't work when I git clone and npm i. So it seems like you don't have yarn installed, and if you don't, Gatsby falls back to use npm. So if you just install yarn, you shouldn't have this issue.

If for some reason you really don't want to install yarn, all you have to do is go to the package.json and change "gatsby": "^2.0.28", to "gatsby": "latest",

I just tested this out and it works. Weird since I used npm when I developed it, but it looks like it has something to do with this, quoted from the issue I linked.

It seems the real cause of the problem here is that the v2 branch of this template is package locked to only use beta 1 of gatsby 2.

Let me know if this works for you.

@justinformentin I'm using a new computer and typically would have yarn installed.

I just installed yarn and tested again. The development server started as expected, everything working great now.

Many thanks for posting your excellent Gatsby starter I think it's very nice.
