Did you run npm install before npm run start?

Tried to install vite-node, but failed with this command - npm install vite-node

@sharp0111 could you provide what npm logs when you run npm install?

[Zain-ul-din]

from OP message npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above. it seems to be happened due to a network problem.

Whats your node version?

If fetch is not defined, its mostly because you're using node <= v18

[sharp0111]

I use node v16. I'll try a later version. Thanks.

Thank you, with 18+ it will work for sure :)
