/bin/sh: SET: command not found

Question

I cloned a react project that contains the following package.json. After yarn, yarn start gave me the following error. I tried yarn add react-scripts start, but it still did not work.

I am using MacOS.

Could anyone help?

$ yarn start
yarn run v1.21.1
$ SET PORT=8000 && react-scripts start
/bin/sh: SET: command not found
error Command failed with exit code 127.

On Posixes, the most compatible is "env PORT=8000 react-scripts start".

This is why the cross-env package exists; it does the right thing on both Windows and Posix systems.
