Looks like it might be an issue specific to being run on windows, the npm start command is just an alias for

gulp build -L && node 'build/main.js' --profile ~/Temp/TestNotes2 --stack-trace-enabled --log-level debug --env dev

notice how there are single quotes (’) around 'build/main.js' and if you look at your error log, those quotes are included in the file path. Can you try running the command without them? Or using double quotes (") or something.

Also something that would make it easier to receive support. Please do not share a screenshot of an error log, please take the time to copy and past the error into your message (use a markdown code block). This helps others look up errors and subsequently help you. If you feel that you absolutely need the image, include it alongside the copy and pasted error.

@rishabh.malhotra try to compile the CliClient in cmd console instead of PowerShell. For the record, the && operator doesn’t work in Powershell and I think there’s another issues that doesn’t allow you to run on it.

Run npm start on cmd console. If doesn’t work, simply run this command and give us the feedback:

gulp build -L && node build/main.js --profile ~/Temp/TestNotes2 --stack-trace-enabled --log-level debug --env dev
