I'm trying to run npm run dev for Laravel Mix and I get this error:

I updated node.js to 6.11.0 and npm to 5.2.0, but it didn't help. I'm running Homestead on Windows 7.

You need to make cross-env working globally instead of having it in the project.

1) remove node_modules folder

2) run

npm install --global cross-env

3) remove "cross-env": "^5.0.1", from package.json file devDependencies section. Actually, you can skip this step and keep package.json intact. If you prefer.

4) run

npm install --no-bin-links

5) run

npm run dev

and see it working

P.S Tested on Windows 10 with Laravel-5.4

P.P.S Windows 10 with Laravel-5.6 does not have this problem, thus updating is an alternative solution.
