I followed the instructions in the README, cloned the repository, and ran both npm ci and npm run build. My computer is running a Windows environment, but the build failed.

Hi, Penpot Desktop builds on Windows in CI, but I didn't run into this issue. Looks like something is going wrong in Electron Builder and it may be environment specific. It is currently being discussed in this GH issue.

I will mark it as an upstream issue and make sure to apply a fix when there is one.
