Aurelia/JSPM Command failed: ‘unzip’ is not recognized

Presently, Aurelia’s navigation-skeleton isn’t playing nice on windows. When you get the the part where you run

jspm install -y

I was getting the error

Command failed: "unzip" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

This makes sense, because windows doesn’t have a command line ‘unzip’ program.

To solve this, I grabbed unzip.exe from here: http://stahlworks.com/dev/index.php?tool=zipunzip. I have a “utils” folder that is in my path that I can toss executables in, so I put it there.

The next error that comes up is is similar.

Command failed: "chmod" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

This command isn’t necessary for us, so I created “chmod.sh” in my “utils” folder and added the line

echo "noop"

as a Noop executable. JSPM was then happy.
