You need to make cross-env working globally instead of having it in the project.

1) remove node_modules folder

2) run npm install --global cross-env

3) remove "cross-env": "^5.0.1", from package.json file devDependencies section.
Actually, you can skip this step and keep package.json intact. If you prefer.

5) run npm run dev
