Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hibiken/asynqmon/issues/324

Downloading and running the prebuilt Windows binary results in the following error in browser:

Reviewing #97 here, it seems the filepath code was designed for Linux systems, resulting in the error. I wanted to implement the fix in the static.go file myself, so I downloaded the source code for the program, made the change, then ran the make build command from a PowerShell window, resulting in the below error:

make build
yarn install v1.22.22
[1/4] Resolving packages...
success Already up-to-date.
Done in 0.57s.
cd ./ui && yarn build --modules-folder /ui/node_modules
yarn run v1.22.22
$ react-scripts build --modules-folder /ui/node_modules
'react-scripts' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

make: *** [Makefile:6: assets] Error 1

...which triggered me to think "oh duh, I forgot to npm install", so I ran that, which resulted in this next output:

npm install

To address issues that do not require attention, run:
  npm audit fix

Some issues need review, and may require choosing
a different dependency.

Run `npm audit` for details.

Finally I try the make build command again:

Same issue as before, react-scripts is not installed. After some digging online, the NOT ideal solution is to globally install react-scripts using the command npm i -g react-scripts@latest --force followed by the make build again:

make build

Something is off here, because now it seems it's sending me down a rabbit hole of installing all of the packages.json packages to a global scope, one at a time. npm install install is not doing what it's supposed to.

Can someone try following the documentation in a Windows 10 environment and let me know what I'm missing here?

For further context, I've also tried to manually running the backend server with go run main.go --port 8085, and then attempting to run the frontend server with npm run start which results in a giant output of issues, and a browser window that all looks like the following:

Unless I'm missing something obvious here, the package just simply doesn't work on Windows.
