Try to contribute

Hello, I wanna contribute to the react repo, but, I faced an issue on setup the code locally.
Basically, I followed the steps in the contribution, by cloning, "npm i", and when I ran it using the "npm run start" it gave a bunch of errors.
can anyone help me set up the code locally?

Hi @Youssef11296 👋🏻 Thanks for your interest in contributing!

Please take a look at this section in our contributor docs and make sure you have Node.js v16 installed before running the setup commands.

To check your Node.js version:

node -v

If you don't have v16 installed:

nvm install 16

Once Node is ready, setup the project:

npm run setup

Let us know what happens when you give this a try.

@lesliecdubs, thanks, for the response.
I actually did, but it shows an issue with the "./script/setup" as the "." is not a recognized command, it's related to my system.
Trying to solve it from my side.

@lesliecdubs, if you can share a help with that, it'll be totally appreciated.

Hm. I can't tell from the screenshot you posted above, but are you definitely running the npm run setup command in a local clone of the primer/react repo?

I'm not familiar with this particular error and am not a regular Windows user, but I wonder if this article I found after Googling the error you received might be helpful?
