I have cloned an Angular project and got the following error message "C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.cmd" run start > clone-side@0.0.0 start > node --max_old_space_size=4096 ./node_modules/.bin/ng serve E:\me\Projekt\cloneFe\node_modules\.bin\ng:2 basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" | sed -e 's,\\,/,g')") ^^^^^^^ SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list at internalCompileFunction (node:internal/vm:73:18) at wrapSafe (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1178:20) at Module._compile (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1220:27) at Module._extensions..js (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1310:10) at Module.load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1119:32) at Module._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:960:12) at Function.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain] (node:internal/modules/run_main:81:12) at node:internal/main/run_main_module:23:47 Node.js v18.16.1 Process finished with exit code 1 my ng file lookks like this. #!/bin/sh basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" | sed -e 's,\\,/,g')") case `uname` in *CYGWIN*|*MINGW*|*MSYS*) basedir=`cygpath -w "$basedir"`;; esac if [ -x "$basedir/node" ]; then exec "$basedir/node" "$basedir/../@angular/cli/bin/ng" "$@" else exec node "$basedir/../@angular/cli/bin/ng" "$@" fi i'm Running that on IntelliJ ultimate in Windows I have tried another "node" version with vola but the error remains constant regardless of the setup.
