Cannot find /usr/share/joplin/node_modules/joplin/app/

[CTA5816]

I built and installed joplin with no errors but the CLI application fails to run and returns Cannot find /usr/share/joplin/node_modules/joplin/app/. The contents of /usr/share/joplin are as follows:

.git
.gitignore
package.json
package.tgz
.pnp.cjs
.pnp.loader.mjs
README.md
.yarn
yarn.lock

So no node_modules directory. I'm not familiar with yarn or node.js so sorry if I've failed to provide any obvious logs. Any idea what might be going on here/what logs I should look at to figure that out? Weirdly joplin-desktop works fine when I install it using the same procedure.

These are the contents of package.tgz:

app/
build-doc.sh
cli-integration.sh
createUsers.sh
fuzzing.sh
gulpfile.js
jest.config.js
jest.setup.js
package.json
README.md
tests/
tools/
tsconfig.json

It looks like this has all the package files but I don't know what to do with it (and it seems like it should have been unpacked automatically in the build process).

Sorry, didn't mean to close this issue

Hey, which version of Joplin and which command you used to build it?
Assuming you used makepkg, then the log it shows could help. In particular, anything after the line "Packaging CLI with Repo Gulp" should tell what went wrong (see here).
If the package.tgz seems to be good, then something wrong happens with the yes | yarn add ./package.tgz line, but I suppose the log should tell. Btw, the app dir in ./pkg/joplin/usr/share/joplin/package.tgz should have 85 files in total, does it match?
Anyway I'd do a rm -fr src/ pkg/; npm cache clean --force to start fresh.

Hello,

I had the same issue for some time already. Today I saw this thread and could make it work following the instruction to clear cache, but I also ran a npm install after that.

It complains about some deprecated packages/versions, but it works.

I have fixed this in the latest release, the new binary points to the correct path.
