basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" | sed -e 's is a linux bash command which is not supported by windows.

basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" | sed -e 's is a linux bash command which is not supported by windows.

what do I need to change to get it to build on windows... I am following the instructions given in the readme.

I got this to ng build to work by navigating to the metube/ui folder, and ran .\node_modules\.bin\ng build it HAS to be run in the ui folder or this error happens, and the backslash's have to be backslashes otherwise cmd, i assume that is what you are using, won't run the binary ng
Edit: now realizing you are on win11, it might not work, idk

This worked like a charm on win11 with no problems whatsoever... thanks for the fabulous reply. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong but I followed all your instructions and it worked! In addition to all what you said I also downgraded node to 18 from node 22 due to some other lib i was working on... so not sure if that also made any difference.

thanks again.
