I'm not sure if it's because your working directory path has spaces in it. I don't have a windows machine to test it. Could you retry in a working directory without spaces in the path?

@skks1212 any idea?

[skks1212]

@SaiRev0 can you check if your project folder name contains spaces? If so, please remove the spaces and try again.

@rithviknishad I had the same issue, moving the repo to a directory with no spaces helped me solve it.

@divyanshkhetan @rithviknishad I have the project in a directory whose name has no spaces. Still it is not working. Could you help?

[rithviknishad]

Did you run npm install --legacy-peer-deps before that?

@SaiRev0 @MayaSatishRao it's recommended to use a unix environment for developing care.
Can you try running the project in wsl.

[MayaSatishRao]

@rithviknishad I did. Do I need wsl as recommended by @sainak ?

[rithviknishad]

It's best if you could do it in WSL

[MayaSatishRao]

ok

Thanks a lot for sharing, I m having a dual boot setup so I can directly work on Ubuntu

I got the project running in my system and here is what I did:

1. run npm cache clean --force
2. Update the node version to 18.16.0 and npm version to 9.6.7(current latest ersions)
3. run npm install --legacy-peer-deps
4. run npm run dev

I updated the node version because I found this: https://github.com/vitejs/vite/issues/9113#issuecomment-1184319357
