Issue Summary

System information Medusa version: 2.0.1. Node.js version: v20.18.0 Database: Postgres 17 Operating system: Windows 10

Steps to Reproduce Following the Quick Start Guide, I ran "npx create-medusa-app@latest" to launch Medusa for the first time, and it worked fine.

However, after I restarted my computer and tried to launch Medusa a second time, I believe that I cannot re-use the above command anymore, because I am not "creating" a new Medusa instance.

Instead, to start Medusa, I followed the documentation at "https://docs.medusajs.com/learn/first-customizations" to run "npm run dev". Then, I got the following errors:

C:\Users\xxx\xxx\medusa> npm run dev npm error Missing script: "dev" npm error npm error To see a list of scripts, run: npm error npm run
