While it runs now, the env variables aren't set. I don't think there's a syntax that works on both unix and windows... so probably best to add a new command |

The current npm scripts use Unix-specific syntax that fails on Windows: - Environment variables use Unix syntax (VAR=value) instead of cross-platform - The postinstall script uses Unix 'cp' command which doesn't exist on Windows - Windows developers cannot run npm scripts natively without WSL This change adds proper cross-platform support: 1. Added 'cross-env' dependency (v7.0.3) - Handles environment variable setting across all platforms - Used in: build, electron:dev, website:build scripts 2. Added 'shx' dependency (v0.3.4) - Provides Unix commands (like cp) on all platforms - Used in: postinstall script These are industry-standard packages for Node.js cross-platform compatibility. Scripts updated: - build: Added cross-env for INLINE_RUNTIME_CHUNK - postinstall: Changed cp to shx cp for cross-platform file copying - electron:dev: Added cross-env for BROWSER and ELECTRON_IS_DEV - website:build: Added cross-env for BUILD_PATH, PUBLIC_URL, INLINE_RUNTIME_CHUNK This fixes the issues reported in PR mb21#65 and allows Windows developers to run all npm scripts without modification.
