'npm start' fails on clean install

[topherzee]

Hi, I just cloned the repo and ran npm install And then ran npm start. It failed with this message:

I had had some errors when running npm install, so I deleted the package-lock.json and installed again and it installed with no errors. However, npm start gave the same results.

I updated to latest node (13.12.0) and npm (6.14.4), but no change in behaviour.

Help! :)

Well, a brute force 'fix' is to comment out lines 137-138 of /scripts/fetch-archive.js. I guess its expecting an .env file to be configured. But that's not how readme describes it. Would be great if it can handle no .env file being there.
