Unable to run the appwrite repository locally
Hey, I'm trying to setup the appwrite repo on my laptop using the instructions from https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#setup-from-source
When i do
docker compose build
it is stuck at this stage
ERROR [appwrite node 4/5] RUN npm ci
I am currently running this on Windows with WSL2 docker.
Am I doing anything wrong here?
TL;DR
I am having trouble running the appwrite repository locally. I turned on my VPN and the build succeeded. However, there are no logs and it gets stuck on the building step. I am wondering if there is an error or log that explains why `npm ci` failed. Someone suggested running `git submodule update --init` and it worked for them, but it didn't work for me. I am following the instructions from the GitHub repository and running the build command on Windows with WSL2 docker. Can anyone help me figure out what I am doing wrong? 
Did you run git submodule update --init?
yea
If you go into app/console, can you run npm ci successfully?
Is there any error/log that says why npm ci failed?
no logs, it was stuck on building step
also, i turned on vpn, and now it went past that error stage. maybe it will build this time
hey, build succeded
thanks for responding
