Description

I tried to set up the project locally using the instructions in DEVELOPMENT.md.

However, after running the following commands, I got an error

npm run build npx playwright install npm run test:unit (all tests passed) npm start (gave error)

Here is the error - 'USE_LOCAL_FILE' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Platforms: Windows 10, Mozilla Firefox 120.0 (64-bit),

Research direction
Investigate the Windows compatibility of the scripts that use 'USE LOCAL FILE' and suggest a cross platform solution like using cross env or checking if the variable is set differently.
