Why is this a problem?

When using the cmd npm run env:install => got an error error: could not create new wp-config.php file

Suggested Fix

To resolve that issue:

1. Open the localhost URL i.e http://localhost:8889/ => Add database data as
   then submit
2. Create wp-config.php and copy-paste the code here
   then click run the installation
3. Try to login to the dashboard using credentials here => if it didn't work like that
   
   then create a new admin user using
   npm run env:cli -- wp user create admin [email protected] --display_name=test --role=administrator --user_pass=password

Notes

• Used OS is Ubuntu 23.04
• We may have a better solution to the same problem than the one mentioned above, please feel free to share it after testing.
• Other kinds of problems may face other users based on the environment, will be great if we can build up on this and add anything further that may come up => if many issues are there, then we can create a new troubleshooting page and add a link to the troubleshooting page in the readme file for simplicity.
