Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

I'm fairly new to MSPP but I've recently been working with the Component Framework on PC. I've since moved over to my Macbook but I'm unable to install the MSI for obvious reasons.

I have found however that there's a Visual Studio Code extension that provides the pac CLI tool, so I've gone ahead and installed then created a new component using the below:

pac pcf init --name Test1 --namespace HomeOffice --template dataset

I've then also installed typescript as this is also required, using npm i typescript --save-dev

Then I've build using npm run build. All fine so far however I'm unable to run it using npm start, instead I'm given the below error:

Does this tool work on MacOS or is the Component Framework only available for Windows?
