Thanks for the solution Ignat. I followed the steps but unfortunately step 3 produces the following errors:

npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: [email protected] (node_modules\fsevents): 
npm WARN notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Unsupported platform for [email protected]: wanted {"os":"darwin","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"win32","arch":"x64"})

Ignoring the errors/warnings and proceeding futher seems to work. However, for step 5, I had to use pbiviz start.

 

Thanks a ton for the solution!
