OS?

Windows 8

Repro steps.

Per your documentation, tried to run:

rm -rf node_modules dist tmp

The log given by the failure.

'rm' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Mention any other details that might be useful.

rm -rf is not a windows command. Yeah, most of us are smart enough to figure out we should use rmdir instead, but you still might want to add a note to the docs.

Good point. Would you be willing to make a PR for that? Maybe saying

rm -rf node_modules dist # use rmdir on Windows

(tmp is also not needed anymore)
