Hi @amine_ech ๐Ÿ‘‹ welcome to our community. How have you create your project? It is an in-app installation or a Forest CLI installation? Basically the warning say the folder `forest` is missing from your root project. But it is not a blocking point to start. Can you share with us the entire log of your server start.
