The token '&&' is not a valid statement separator in this version

Question

On the way of installing Webpack on my React Project, the following problem hinders my progress:

last step to configure the Webpack

npm run build && node ./dist/main.js 

Error on Windows Power Shell / on Visual Studio Code

PS C:\Users\pythonbuddha\Desktop\to_experiment\to-do-list> npm run build && node ./dist/main.js At line:1 char:15 + npm run build && node ./dist/main.js +               ~~ The token '&&' is not a valid statement separator in this version.     + CategoryInfo          : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException     + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidEndOfLine

Answer 1

It's because you're in PowerShell, try running it in CMD or Git Bash

Alternatively (if you wish to continue in PS):

(npm run build) -and (node ./dist/main.js) 

3rd Alternative, just run them separetly,
