Comment (by pbearne):

 Hi All

 I am trying to test as "the dumb windows user"

 I can't get to work
 steps I have done

 Download clean copy from SVN https://develop.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/

 applied the patch (not sure it applied cleanly)

 tried to run npm in the root and local-env folders


 {{{
 $ npm run env:start
