Fails to run project locally - dependency error

[UmutAlihan]

Installing dependencies, node_modules with "yarn"
Then command "yarn watch" throws the error below:

-------- Error Output:

I had this too, and not exactly sure what I did to fix it, but started with removing the third_party/paper reference from the package.json and then "npm update" again. Did this, along with the --no-source-maps arg to parsel, and got it running

What do you mean by that?

There's an issue in the parcel library (#2). Here's the change to my package.json, after which I can run 'yarn watch' or 'yarn build' and serve up from a webserver from the dist directory.

"scripts": {
"watch": "cross-env NODE_ENV=development parcel index.html --no-source-maps --no-hmr --open ",
"build": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production parcel build index.html --no-source-maps --public-url ./",
"build-camera": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production parcel build camera.html --public-url ./",
"lint": "eslint .",
"link-local": "yalc link"
}

That works. Thank you.

These steps worked for me:

1. Delete "paper" dependency row from package.json
2. Add "--no-source-maps" to package.json "watch" script like pablo-mayrgundter described above
3. Delete node_modules/paper
4. npm install paper
5. yarn watch
