Ghost: Cannot generate assets (cards, admin-auth, etc) on local windows install

Issue Summary

Installed ghost ( Node.js version - found v16.14.0 | npm: ‘8.3.1’ | Ghost-CLI version: 1.18.1 | Ghost version: 4.38.0 ) on my Windows 10 machine. cards.min.css don’t seem to load on my local dev site, but it does on the editor.

Editor:

Published:

I touched NOTHING. This is a fresh install, tried six times.

Here’s the Package.json file, cards should show up.

Additionally, when I try to go to http://localhost:2368/public/cards.min.css on my browser, I get a 404 error.

Lastly, someone reported the same issue in 2021: in this post, a guy reported the same issue I’m having. Sadly, he seems to have abandoned ghost because of it, because no more posts under his username were made and he didn’t bother to fill a bug report.
