[BUG] App cannot be started if installed in a directory with spaces in the name

[eismail-aiopsgroup]

Summary

I've tried to install the PWA kit on my machine by following the quick start guide but it turned out I can't start the app if my path has spaces inside.

Steps To Reproduce

npx pwa-kit-create-app@latest --preset retail-react-app-demo
cd pwa-kit-starter-project
npm start

Error:

> [email protected] start C:\Users\Enis Work\dev\pwa-kit\pwa-kit-starter-project
> cross-env NODE_ICU_DATA=node_modules/full-icu pwa-kit-dev start

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:905
  throw err;
  ^

Expected result

The app can be started as expected. Note: Everything works fine if I do the same with a Windows User without spaces in the name/path.

Actual result

The app is installed but I'm not able to start it. Looks like the path gets cut off where the space is ("Enis Work") and cannot be resolved.

Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\Enis'

Node version: v14.18.0 (also tried v16.9.1) NPM version: v6.14.15 pwa-kit version: v2.3.0 Desktop OS: Windows 10 (x64)
