'DOPPLER_TOKEN' is not recognized as an internal or external command

Need Help

Hello, could someone help me? I am trying to install my project on Windows, but I am getting the following error:

PS C:\workspace\lockebio-backend> npm run dev

lockebio-backend@1.0.0 dev

DOPPLER_TOKEN=$npm_package_config_DOPPLER_LOCAL_TOKEN nodemon
‘DOPPLER_TOKEN’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

This is my packge.json: Sorry for the lack of organization in the json, as I am not allowed to put images here on the forum

“DOPPLER_LOCAL_TOKEN”: >“dp.st.local.[redacted]”

“generate”: “npx prisma generate”,
“prepare”: “npx husky install”
},

It is not recognizing the DOPPLER_TOKEN command, has anyone experienced this? Remembering that it works normally on Mac

Mod Edit: redacted service token

Hi @Ronald_Junger!

Welcome to the Doppler Community!

I think the issue here is that it looks like you’re using PowerShell. I believe you have to set environment variables in PowerShell like this:

$env:DOPPLER_TOKEN = 'your-token-here'; nodemon

Generally speaking, we highly recommend installing and using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) since you’ll generally have a much better time trying to get your stuff to work properly that way!

I’d say give the first syntax a try and if you keep having trouble, try swapping to WSL and see if that helps!
