npm run email not working?

[barbareshet]

if you are on Windows, using CMD

"email": "cp .env ./node_modules/react-email && email dev --dir src/email --port 3001", will not work. you will most probably get 'cp' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

then, all StackOverflow answers will say, replace cp with copy, and it still wouldn't work due to The syntax of the command is incorrect.

this one was working for me (thanks ChatGPT)
in the package.json email script, use this one:
"email": "copy .env .\\node_modules\\react-email & email dev ^--dir src\\email ^--port 3001"

It is because cp is executable in linux/unix os, maybe try using git bash in vscode terminal.

For the people having issues on MacOs

do the following : check : https://react.email/docs/getting-started/manual-setup

1. npm install react-email @react-email/components -E
2. if this gives an error try this as written in your terminal - sudo chown -R 501:20 "/Users/check terminal ]/.npm" and retry npm install react-email @react-email/components -E
