Trying to build angular.js in windows 8 results in the following error..

D:\Git\angular.js\node_modules\q-fs\node_modules\q\q.js:1327
throw error;
^
Error: Can't create symbolicLink "build/docs/notes" to relative location "../../
docs/content/notes": EPERM, symlink '....\docs\content\notes'
From previous event:
at Object. (D:\Git\angular.js\docs\src\gen-docs.js:65:4)
at node.js:901:3

Note that all the dependencies (Node.js, grunt-cli, bower, ruby) are installed

The problem is that you need administrator rights to create symlinks. On Windows, you need to start the "Windows Command Processor" or whatever other command line tool you use (i.e. Git bash) with "Run as administrator". Then the build will work.
