client install fails

[XVhc6A]

after running npm run build
I see:

...
[cp] test/tests/data/snapshot
[ln] chrome/skin/default/zotero/treeitem-bill.png
[ln] chrome/skin/default/zotero/[email protected]
[ln] chrome/skin/default/zotero/treeitem-audioRecording.png
[ln] chrome/skin/default/zotero/[email protected]
Error: [Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'resource/react.js'] {
errno: -2,
code: 'ENOENT',
syscall: 'stat',
path: 'resource/react.js' 
}

If I update all of the submodules to their master:

$ npm run build

> [email protected] build
> node ./scripts/build.js

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:936
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module './lib/colors'

}

any advice on how to get client install working?

Hi @XVhc6A @hpxing
I'll take a look in it.

Hi @XVhc6A @hpxing
This error is most likely due to not updated submodules. See my reply #22 (comment) as there is a bug due to typo.
Also note nodejs version compatibility.
Try to build V5 client with nodejs 10. If it'll fail then try with nodejs 8.
