Are you running those command in a bash terminal, like the one usually provided with Git?

[dinoboff]

It doesn't matter which shell is used to run npm. Npm will run the run-script commands with "cmd" on windows; the commands calling a script should not rely on the shebang.

In the meantime, you can run the command as node bin/server.js src/ from bash (from cmd or powershell, it's properly node bin\server.js src\)

@hiddenmirage Can you please pull the last changes and test the start and build command?

git pull https://github.com/singpath/classmentors.git master
npm run build
npm start
