Hi Ascs,

First off all, you can. Currently Adalo let’s you publish on Mac & Linux. Also, the components are made with React Native (technically JavaScript).

You can develop components on windows, but when you try to publish it, it will give you an error.

You can bypass this by installing WSL (windows subsystem for Linux) on windows.

Please read this post.

> Hi Matheus, I am actually using Linux to publish. Windows has a feature called Windows Subsystem for Linux and I use that for the deployment. If you want to develop, I strongly suggest you install it The only other way you can do it is to modify the Adalo publish component. In your project folder you will see node\_modules. From there you need to look for @adalo\cli\src\build.js, line 28 in that file is where you seem to have an issue. You will need to debug the issue there.
