as error implies, you need the .git folder & git installed.

clone the repo as tutorial says to do, or use a docker image!

This is the exact guide I followed & I think the folder is present

consider using the docker image instead, it's easier to setup and will update itself.

No, the docker method didn't work. I just wish the NodeJs can run successfully with 'npm start'
