angular-phonecat tutorial- server not working

Question

I am working through this tutorial in angular-js. when I run the server, nothing seems to happen, my console looks like this:

This is in git bash but I get the same thing in windows console.
When I go to http://localhost:8000 it is blank and so is http://localhost:8000/app/index.html. No error messages.
When I browse to the app folder using windows explorer, index.html is present and has code.

Can anyone see the problem?

To be sure noe of your other installed programs interfere with the Angular JS Setup requirement, make sure to use, in your CMD where you are following the tutorial, to use:

• a simplified PATH

   set PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
   set GH=C:\path\to\git
   set PATH=%GH%\bin;%GH%\usr\bin;%GH%\mingw64\bin;%PATH%
  

• a PATH completed with the minimum you need

   set PATH=%PATH%;C:\path\to\npm
  

Then try again to launch your server.
