Error occurs on first run if NPM is not allready installed

[Marc-Gee]

Trying docker for windows for my 1st time!
Windows 11 and VS code both current versions.

Running the docker build -t welcome-to-docker . command returns an error " ERROR: failed to solve: process "/bin/sh -c npm install....."
This error persisted because my WSL2 machine , or my host machine, (I am not sure which ) did not have NPM installed already.
ie trying

This was solved via running 'sudo apt install npm' in the WSL2 Ubuntu VM, and then running the welcome to docker build script again.
The container then built successfully.

Same issue when run cmd in powershell.
Following docker desktop leanning center instruction , error occur when build step:

I faced the same issue under Windows. Using the same tutorial. Solution: Start cmd as administrator and it would work. If Linux, then Terminal requires sudo docker build -t welcome-to-docker . and the password for the user.

Yeah - I still can't get it running as well...

docker build -t welcome-to-docker .
