Running the Demo on my own environment

[johnnytranamp]

I've git cloned the whole repo onto my desktop and want to play around with the demo on my personal workstation as I'm a fairly new developer still trying to learn all it's features and code. I haven't had success in creating a live server for it as every time I try to run npm run start / npm run build:demo it returns the error message below. Any help would be a greatly appreciated! (I see that there's already 3 webpack files that came along with the files but I can't seem to figure it out)

'webpack' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

It sounds like you need to run npm install (if you haven't already). This is a common first step for Node projects.

This is what I ran into when trying to npm install

Try npm i --legacy-peer-deps or npm i --force.

I was able to receive this message in the terminal after I npm i --force but there wasn't an available localhost for me to open up. This was the new message in the terminal.

npm start (not npm run build:demo) is what will run a server on localhost to connect to.

Its running now thank you!
