Error at final step 3 while running portal watch command "npm run watch"

[vsrp]

I am following the instructions provided in section "How to run this project". Successfully completed steps 1, 2 and first part of step 3. However, I am getting the following error while running the final part of step 3 i.e npm run watch. I could not figure out the issue, any help is appreciated! Thank you so much.
