hmm, I suspect something wrong with the node\_modules. Can you please?

```auto
npm install -g npm@latest
cd your_project_directory
rm -rf node_modules
npm install

```

let us know if this works,

Building from Windows isn't supported unfortunately. More info on how to build can be found at [Building a Kibana distributable | Kibana Guide [master] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/building-kibana.html).
