Here is the package.json file.
When I run npm run start
I get this message
'DEBUG' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1

npm run start basically runs your start command. Meaning, it is same as running DEBUG=true HOST=localhost:4200 gulp server command in your terminal. — user1741851
How windows will know the DEBUG and HOST is the recognise command in npm. I tried SET DEBUG=* but It did not worked. — B. Raut

After checking all the possibilities we have to use the cross-env dependencies.

so install npm install cross-env --save-dev

and in package.json

"Start": " cross-env-shell DEBUG=True HOST=dev.example.com gulp server"

npm run start with "DEBUG=*" issue on Windows
