Help with homarr on windows 11

[LimpTea]

I know this is not the official way to use/install homarr on windows, docker being the way to go, however all the other things i use (sonnarr, riddarr etc) ive installed without docker. Please bare with me as I'm quite new to this type of thing.

I'm trying to use npm with yarn to build homarr using the instructions found here Run Homarr Application Dashboard on Windows (i12bretro.github.io) but am having difficulties getting it to work.

Following the instructions it all goes smoothly until the command to # build homarr - yarn build. it leads to the following error being displayed

C:\Program Files\homarr>yarn build

• info Loaded env from C:\Program Files\homarr.env
  ❌ Invalid environment variables: { NEXT_PUBLIC_DEFAULT_COLOR_SCHEME: [ 'Invalid input' ] }
• error Failed to load next.config.js, see more info here https://nextjs.org/docs/messages/next-config-error

This is obviously human error on my part somewhere, I'm kind of new to this sort of thing but if if anyone could please help me resolved this and get homarr working i would be extremely grateful..

The same thing happened to me, but I was installing on Debian11, I managed to fix it using Vim inside the .env and removing a space that was right after the variable ("light").
