- pnpm: Install pnpm version 9 or higher for package management. Install pnpm (https://pnpm.io/installation)
- Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable: Ensure you have the latest version installed. Download Visual C++ Redistributable (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170)
