Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/658

Linux: CentOS Linux release 7.7.1908 (Core), nodejs: v12.16.1
windows:10.0.14393,nodejs: v12.13.1

On both platforms, the same error occurs.
I found that there were many people who had the same problem as me, but I found that the real problem was not solved.

The specific error is as follows

Text:

#651

Possible root cause of this issue:

When you download the repo as zip, you just download the source files of the most recent commit of the default branch. Essentially, when you download you can’t make use of any git commands, you can’t view the commit messages, you are just not using git at all. We need version.json file which depends on git version tags found in .git directory.

Solution: Instead of downloading the zip and starting the server, try cloning https://github.com/liyasthomas/postwoman.git. Now the version number is correctly fetching from package.json and release tag, so I think it should solve this issue.

Feel free to reopen this issue if you weren't able to get it working.
