Missing dependencies

[Tronic]

On Debian:

yarn global add --dev @droppyjs/cli
(...)
droppy start

           .:.

After manually installing autoprefixer (the cause of this error is that missing), I get another error about file-extension. Am I doing something wrong or is the packaging broken?

[Tronic]

The second error, not fixed even with file-extension installed globally:

Thanks, really strange. I'll work out why this has happened and get back to you!

[Tronic]

FWIW, I got this working by installing Droppy non-globally and installing the missing packages on the same folder.

[markhughes]

Hi @Tronic could you try it again in the latest version I just put out?

https://github.com/droppyjs/droppy/releases/tag/v0.0.5

[markhughes]

Confirmed on my end. We've added the dependency into the server, dependencies are slowly being better dealt with. Thanks agian.

[Tronic]

Thanks, I'll give it a try on Monday :)
