System

• Node.js version: v14.15.4
• NPM version: 6.14.10
• Strapi version: No idea, whatever npx brings down on 27/Jun/2021
• Database: N/A
• Operating system: Windows 10

Additional context

The "getting started" was a non-starter.
Does any Strapi Dev actually try this out on a Windows machine... before presenting it to the world..

@joe-oli also i faced very strange issues in self hosted version of strapi using docker, please check this out and help me if you can. It would be very helpful to me,
strapi/strapi-docker#306

I've got the same error and I manage to fix it by using yarn instead of npm

rm my-project/frontend/package-lock.json \
&& cd my-project/frontend \
&& yarn install \
&& yarn develop

[nooobcoder]

@dev-sareno FYI, first of all no package-lock.json file was found in my directory, and I also tried installing by yarn.
It did not work out either,
@dev-sareno i request you to come to my thread to discuss on this, otherwise this shall create confusion to future participants.

Can't reproduce the above error on Windows but I did manage to get the following error:
