Unable to start build

[strongui]

I'm trying to fix a bug in the editor, and I'm following the setup in the guide, but when I do npm start, it just opens make.js and nothing happens.

[xdan]

nvm use
npm ci
npm start

?

[xdan]

nvm install

[strongui]

This is what I get. npm start still just opens make.js in my vs code

[xdan]

ok, just install
nvm install 16.15.0
node -v - should show 16.15

[strongui]

Already did that.

[xdan]

npm ci ?

I got a problem:
did you install make ?

npm start runs through make, and on Windows there's usually no make installed — so the OS just opens make.js in your editor instead of running it. Install GNU Make (e.g. choco install make, or use WSL / Git Bash), then nvm use && npm ci && npm start works. That missing make is the whole issue.
