Setting up volto locally

Development Plone 6 UI (Volto)
1

Hey Plone community I get the following error when I run the command make install. Can anyone help me out.

Steps taken:
1.) Installed nvm, node (using the correct version), deno, meteor, pnpm and make (ref: Develop Volto core in docs)
2.) Ran the command make install
3.) Got the following error:

You don't say which instructions you're following.

It looks like you're trying to do this on Windows, but I think you will need to use the Windows Subsystem for Linux.

Here's an example mention of Windows:

Please note there are many ways to install Plone...

If they're not using WSL I don't think they would have got this far, it would have failed on finding a make command.

This looks like it is not seeing the GNU find in the PATH. Instead it is invoking Windows FIND
