After your environment is ready, navigate to the repository and run npm run bootstrap , this will install dependencies and will compile all packages.
After bootstrap is finished, you should be able to run npm run start and see Compass application running locally.
Bootstrap finished apparently successfully:
lerna success run Ran npm script 'bootstrap' in 44 packages in 114.2s:

@mongodb-js/compass-home: webpack 5.52.1 compiled with 5 warnings in 31028 ms
However npm run start then fails as follows:

@Jack_Woehr Hello! The current situation is that for mongosh, you’ll want npm 6.x for building it, for Compass you’ll want npm@7.x or npm@8.x. It’s not the best situation in the world, and we’re planning to eventually migrate mongosh to a newer npm version as well.
Thanks @Anna_Henningsen … I am not having problems building mongosh. I am only having a problem building compass. I used to have problems with mongosh but I have surmounted them with the kind help of @Stennie_X and others. But I am stuck on compass.
@Jack_Woehr Yes, I know – I was just pointing out a difference. The error you are describing here is one that you would typically get if you tried to build Compass with an older npm version (such as npm 6, which may be part of your local setup, since presumably you used that to build mongosh).
Ah, you are correct @Anna_Henningsen … I thought I was using node 14.17.5 and npm 7.0.0 but that was not the case … trying again …
And now, a new error

apt install libsecret-1-dev fixed it! Compass is running!
Now I tried node 14.17.5 with npm 8.0.0.
The compass build completed bootstrap but npm run start fails.
