Failed to execute 'npm run dist' at command (node build/build-plugins.js) loader.js:775 MODULE_NOT_FOUND

Question

I'm currently following a tooling setup from Bootstrap but I'm really having a hard time trying to understand this.

This is the source of the step-by-step process (https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.3/getting-started/build-tools/)

Currently, I'm able to run npm scripts (e.g. npm run dist - according to the package.json file from Bootstrap)

During the command ('npm run dist') there's a command being executed as: node build/build-plugins.js (My Bootstrap root folder doesn't have any build folder!)

Here's the log (using Git Bash - Windows)

Answer 1

You propably ran npm install bootstrap command to download the source code of Bootstrap so you're missing build folder.

Try to download the source code with Composer. These steps worked for me:

1. composer require twbs/bootstrap:4.5.0
2. cd .\vendor\twbs\bootstrap\
3. npm install
4. npm run dist

(Evn.: Windows 10 + PowerShell, installed npm, node.js, Ruby+Devkit with Bundler and Jekyll)
