Yarn.lock issue I discussed earlier

[a7t0fwa7]

Hey here was the error message I had yesterday

I managed to fix the issue by installing Yarn on my Debian system, hence why I created a pull request adding the instructions on how to do it for those who may have encountered a similar error.

Cheers

That's weird, this error generally occurs when the command is not executed in the correct directory. Make sure you are in the right directory (the root directory of the project after cloning it containing the dockerfiles). Installing Yarn to fix it is even weirder. Can you provide more context and try the solution I gave?

I am getting the same error:

Hi, after a little bit of exploration I found that the package lock files were ignored by git and were not committed. This issue is fixed by https://github.com/ItzCrazyKns/Perplexica/commit/3859e3db03993838f135951b486dd1d3e214fe7f. Thanks!

How to fix? Just re-clone the project from Github and the files will be updated and then retry the installation, things should work.
