Issue running freeCodeCamp locally (error when running pnpm run develop)

[Alia_Dev]

I am trying to set up freecodecamp locally but I am facing an issue at the step to start the client.

After running pnpm run develop I get this error:

I am on Windows 11 and Docker is running.
I could not find any solutions online, could someone please help?

After a lot of searching I learned that I had to use WSL to run freecodecamp locally as it is not supported on windows. I was able to finally run it after many attempts.

wasn’t it clear in the contribute guide?
