Your error log shows: No .env file found or error reading it: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/mnt/m/.prg/AI/others/Claude_Code_UI/claudecodeui/.env'
What to do:
Make sure you have a .env file in your project root (claudecodeui/).
If you see a file called .env.example (or similar), copy it to .env and update values as needed.
Watch Out for Filesystem Issues (WSL/SSD/Windows vs Linux) Why: You mentioned your project directory is on an SSD, likely mounted as a Windows drive in WSL (/mnt/m/). Node/npm tooling (especially file watching and native builds) can be unreliable on non-native Linux filesystems in WSL.
Common Symptoms:
Hot/cold reload doesn't work,
"Strange" or random errors with npm, pnpm, or native node modules,
File watchers fail to detect changes,
Native module rebuilds break mysteriously.
Solution:
Move your project to your Linux home directory inside WSL. This is typically /home/your-username/.
claude code now support window without wsl
I successfully installed Claude Code 1.0.51 on Windows 11 without using WSL. However, when I attempted to install the Claude Code UI, I encountered the following errors:

I reinstalled everything using WSL on Windows 11, and the Claude Code UI is now working successfully. (I did need to update my Node.js.)
WSL version: 2.5.9.0 Kernel version: 6.6.87.2-1 Windows11 23H2 Node v22.17.0 Claude Code 1.0.48
Hey y'all, just adding another voice here. I also got it working by installing, in my case, v20.19.3.
I recommend adding a note in the readme that it's not compatible with anything higher than 22.

You use wsl or window only?
