1. Unable to Login ( Network Error ) ?

Mostly it happens if you did not set up the MongoDB and Redis.

2. Open 4 terminals.

Solution:

You have to run this command $Env:NODE_OPTIONS='--max-old-space-size=8192'.

3. pnpm Version is Incompatible with local version ?

When there is a discrepancy between your local package version and the project's designated version, it necessitates the installation of the precise package version aligned with the project's specifications.

Screenshot of the issue:

Solution:

Refer to this link to install pnpm -> Installing pnpm.

I personally install pnpm using npm with the help of this command npm run pnpm@[version_number].

In case you installed the wrong version of pnpm, then you may need to uninstall and install again.
