NPM issues with Laravel 5.4.21

Hello, fresh fresh newb and hitting an issue with NPM. Am unable to run:

npm run dev

I'm on Windows 7 with virtual box and vagrant homestead. I have seen and tried several fixes for this issue relating to cross-env locations but those no longer seem to work. It appears the package.json file has changed recently. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

My versions are:

user@user-PC MINGW64 ~/Homestead ((v4.0.5))
vagrant@homestead:~/code/app$ php artisan --version
Laravel Framework 5.4.21
vagrant@homestead:~/code/app$ laravel -v
Laravel Installer 1.3.5
vagrant@homestead:~/code/app$ node -v
v6.10.2
vagrant@homestead:~/code/app$ npm -v
3.10.10

NPM install output:
