Support for Windows set up

Hello! I am having many troubles while trying to set up baseui on Windows 10. Here are the steps I took:

• The first issue I had was with a cp command not found here.https://github.com/uber-web/baseui/blob/cedaaab62c5e137c22e5ee31bb6e559391a230ab/package.json#L26 After changing the command to copy and updating the paths with backslash instead of slash, the file was copied.

• After that I had troubles with lines that execute Javascript files, like this one. https://github.com/uber-web/baseui/blob/cedaaab62c5e137c22e5ee31bb6e559391a230ab/package.json#L27 I solved it by appending node in the front, like this: "build:copy-flow-files": "node .\\scripts\\flow-copy-src.js"

• At this point, I was able to run the yarn command with no errors. When I try to run yarn documentation:dev, after some time it shows the message babel compiled 314 files successfully. However the console does not run any process at all after this, neither gives you the option to enter other commands nor launches the documentation on localhost, as it should. If I try to run yarn documentation:serve instead, I get a 404 not found error.

I don’t think making so many changes on package.json and other files is a reasonable solution. I am considering installing Linux OSsystem and Windows Subsystem for Linux on my machine but I REALLY wanted to avoid doing this. I already set up the project on a macbook successfully, so it is definitely a problem with Windows. Any help is welcome. Thanks!

P.S. I’ll provide more details about my set up when I get home.

this happens if the dev server cannot start listening on port 3000 - can you double check if you have nothing listening on that port?
