I am unable to reproduce the problem under Linux or Windows. Here’s my Windows environment.

```nohighlight
hugo v0.88.1-5BC54738 windows/amd64 BuildDate=2021-09-04T09:39:19Z VendorInfo=gohugoio
GOOS="windows"      
GOARCH="amd64"      
GOVERSION="go1.16.7"

```

You might try deleting the node\_modules directory, then run `npm install` again.

And you do **not** need to run `npm install -g postcss postcss-cli autoprefixer`. These are locally installed when you run `npm install`.
