Laravel 5.4-Vue npm run watch error - node.js

Question

I am trying to execute npm run watch from the Windows Command Line in my Laravel-Vue Project. I am using the following:
Windows 10 Home Edition
Node Version 7.10.0
npm version 5.5.1
Here is my
package.json:
{
"private": true,
"devDependencies": {
"watchify": "^1.0.6",
"bootstrap-sass": "^3.0.0",
"laravel-elixir": "^2.0.0",
"coffee-script": "^1.8.0",
"coffeeify": "^1.1.0",
"gulp": "^3.8.8",
"gulp-clean-css": "*",
"stringify": "^3.1.0",
"vue": "*"
},
"scripts": {
"watch": "watchify -v -t coffeeify -t stringify resources/assets/js/app.js -o public/js/bundle.js",
"build": "browserify -v -t coffeeify -t stringify resources/assets/js/app.js -o public/js/bundle.js"
}
}
Whenever I run the command, I am getting the following error:
> # watch C:\xampp\htdocs\software_vue
> watchify -v -t coffeeify -t stringify resources/assets/js/app.js -o public/js/bundle.js

I am unable to trace back to the issue and kind of lost, rather, where to start debugging.
