Not able to install npm package inside container with mentioned command

[Mr-Usman]

Hi, I am trying to install npm packages with the mentioned command but It is spitting out errors of some environment variables. I am not sure why it is giving this error by running the command in this way

docker compose exec frontend yarn add @heroicons/react.

Although, I have a .env file in /the backend folder.

Error:

1 error(s) decoding: error decoding 'Ports': No port specified: 5432:<empty>

Node Version : 16.0.0
OS: Mac

Hey @Mr-Usman which folder are you running this command?

[Mr-Usman]

@keremciu I am running this command from within the backend directory. I tried to run it from root and frontend directory but it didn't work from there.
