Post_gen_project hook script didn't exit successfully Installing plone

I installed plone before after a lot of issues. This time I tried again to reinstall the plone using packages and again I am not able to install it.

post_gen_project hook script didn't exit successfully

Anyone who can guide me ?

Which node JS version is it?

node 16.13.0

Is it winodws? Try checking the file /Users/flekenstine/Desktop/work/plone/plone/plone_starter_error.log of your system. You might find some useful info there. And moreover I think this is an error in a library that volto uses. Tho I am no expert in this, so I can be wrong too. This is all I could help.

Try installing not in /Users/flekenstine/Desktop because that is a protected directory by macOS. Instead try /Users/flekenstine/projects/my-awesome-project-name-with-hot-sauce.

Are you trying to execute frontend or backend code on your local. Or are you installing plone as an application?

What do you mean by an application? I am using the package method to install it. I suppose we have two methods one is docker containers and the other is the package method.

Let me know if we have any other.

Concluding: I am still not able to install with
cookiecutter gh:collective/cookiecutter-plone-starter

the error that is in the log file is

It can be a problem with my cookiecutter maybe it does not have permission to get the code from any URL.

Last month I did was cloned the cookiecutter existing repo in my local pc and then used the command cookiecutter . this worked same and I was able to install.

What I messed up this time?
My docker was not running and when I once again tried cookiecutter . the local method it showed me an error and, unfortunately, I did not check the error log @rahilhastu thanks for pointing this out.
now I went and checked the error

docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///Users/flekenstine/.docker/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?.
See 'docker run --help'.
make: *** [format] Error 125

Started the docker and used the same local method cookiecutter . and things went smoothly like last time.
