Description
It appears that trunk now requires NodeJS V 20. Text currently suggests V 16 is sufficient.
https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/tutorials/installing-wordpress-locally/from-svn/
For those using Windows 11: If you have not previously installed npm and grunt you will get an error with suggested npm commands. Download and install Node.js from here: https://nodejs.org/download/release/latest-v16.x/. Before attempting to run the suggested npm commands, open a command window and navigate to your wordpress-svn directory. Issue the following command: npm install -g grunt-cli – This installs the grunt client. Then add grunt to your wordpress instance using:
npm install grunt --save-dev
npm run dev should now complete the process of unpacking the WordPress install.
Hi @drussell17 - Thanks for reporting this, I've fixed it.
For future reports regarding make.wordpress.org/CORE handbook could you create a ticket on https://core.trac.wordpress.org in the Docs component? That'll ensure that it gets in front of the correct people quicker
