Summary

I am following the steps explained, but getting a error as 'rm' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Ho @anilshivaraj, thanks for reporting this. I fixed the issue which was specific to the Windows OS.
Oull the latest changes from the repo and reinstall the node app. This should fix it.
