Bit start not working: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'path')

[rpetersChrysalis]

I have been trying to self host components using bit dev, by following this article #4707, I have run the following commands:
npx @teambit/bvm install
npm list -g @teambit/bvm
npm list -g bvm
npm i -g @teambit/bvm
npm install bit-bin --global
npm install -D @pmmmwh/react-refresh-webpack-plugin react-refresh
npm i @pmmmwh/react-refresh-webpack-plugin
bvm update
setx path "%path%;C:\Users\Neil Puttick\AppData\Local.bvm"
npx @teambit/bvm upgrade
npm i @pmmmwh/react-refresh-webpack-plugin
bvm upgrade
npm install
npm i @pmmmwh/[email protected]
bvm install
npm i [email protected]
npm uninstall bit-bin --global
npm install [email protected] --global
npm install bit-bin@latest --global
npm install bit-bin@latest
npm i @pmmmwh/react-refresh-webpack-plugin -g
npm i react-refresh/babel -g
npm i webpack@latest

I then ran bit init --bare and bit start right after. The console then displays the following error:
Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'path')
I have also ran bit status:
error: component ID is invalid, please use the following format: [scope]/

I have no idea how to fix this, any advice would be appreciated.
