Yarn build fails

Support Question

Trying to do a fresh install of Perspective.

Once yarn build is ran, this error is thrown:

Error: Cannot find module 'dotenv'
Require stack:

This is the line in /scripts/build.js:
require("dotenv").config({path: "./.perspectiverc"});

Looks like it's failing to prompt me the 'setup survey' as mentioned in the docs, and then generate the .perspectiverc file.

dotenv is a dependency of the project's package.json, so it sounds like you did not install the project via yarn.

You may want to review yarn's "Getting Started" guide before you proceed to much further down trying to build Perspective from source
