exec /usr/local/bin/install: no such file or directory

Script docker compose build && composer installer:clean && php src/Appwrite/Platform/Installer/Server.php --docker handling the installer:dev event returned with error code 255

and xdebug issue

TypeScript
"unlink(/tmp/appwrite-install-lock.json): No such file or directory" 
src/Appwrite/Platform/Installer/Server.php:296
TL;DR
Issue with running `composer run installer:dev` command in a local build setup. Error message indicates missing `/usr/local/bin/install` file and xdebug problem with `/tmp/appwrite-install-lock.json`. Solution is to check the scripts and verify the correct paths/files are being referenced.
