Error while building the project

[valexiev]

When i try to build the project with npm run build, i get an error:

ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/jckmlkshng/playground/bootstrap-vue/dist/bootstrap-vue.css'

How to build it?

@valexiev Please ensure dist directory exists in root of project and create one if not exists

[valexiev]

Thanks!
It would be nice if it is written in the docs : )

Yes I'll

Probably 'build' should create the folder when it does not exist.

@SirLamer Yes, the problem is rollup was doing this with programming usage but it is not doing this with default commands and we need to create that manually...

I added a dist subdirectory, but now get another error:
npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'path/to/first-test-app/package.json'
Additionally, there is:

npm WARN first-test-app No description
npm WARN first-test-app No repository field.
npm WARN first-test-app No README data
npm WARN first-test-app No license field.

Creating package.json just results in:

npm ERR! code EJSONPARSE
npm ERR! Failed to parse json
npm ERR! No data, empty input at 1:1

--Edit: found solution--
package.json is missing; this can be created with the npm init command. The next 4 errors were just warnings about empty fields in the package.json file.
