RuntimeError: Directory 'static/admin' does not exist

Trying to setup WAS tonight. WIS is running on the same server. Ran the git clone command, ./utils.sh build, all okay. Ran ./utils.sh run and received a program error dump, with the title above as the final line. Full output below. Hopefully, there's a fix pending or already available?

willow@willow:~/willow-application-server$ ./utils.sh run

Looks like you are building was from scratch, which is intended more for developers; was on it's own does not have the UI, you would have to pull the UI repo and build that separately so it is added, that's what the error message is indicating. If you just want to run WAS, it's easier to just use the docker command outlined here: https://heywillow.io/quick-start-guide/#install-was

Thank you! :)
