Answer 1

It's a known issue in windows.

First run npm install from the command prompt.
Then, in package.json change the "dev" line under "scripts" to:
"dev": "npm run watch | serve public/ -p 1618",

and then run npm run dev from the command line (instead of famous dev)

Answer 2

The error when running famous dev has been resolved as of Famous-cli version 0.2.8

Run this command at the command line with npm enabled

npm update -g famous-cli

Note: There is an issue with parallel commands in windows using npm so you will not get a watched server when running famous dev from the default famous create seed as of version 0.2.8
