[dba-Tech] Bad karma - a kind of punning, but not only - I have got an issue with nodejs' karma module while installing gulp...

Use vagrant and install the operating system that works best with the stack you are testing... Which is Linux. Most of your headaches should go away and you will have a nice clean environment to work from.

AFAIU and AFAUCS this approach creates some issues. The best for me probably (as I'm working  on MS Windows) should be to "merge" Sublime + gulp TypeScript development support and (the latest?) MS TypeScript compiler. There are several under:
