Hi there, I’m trying to set up a local instance of Aleph, using the Main branch in the GitHub repo ([GitHub - alephdata/aleph: Search and browse documents and data; find the people and companies you look for.](https://github.com/alephdata/aleph)), following the instructions found here: ([Development Environment – Aleph](https://docs.aleph.occrp.org/developers/getting-started/development-environment/)) After resolving a port conflict issue on port 5432 which had tripped me up for a while, I was able to get “make build” and “make upgrade” to complete successfully. However, whenever I run “make web”, I get a series (20 or more) of “module not found” errors. `Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'src/screens/ExportsScreen/ExportsScreen' in '/mnt/c/users/justin/documents/github/aleph/ui/src/app'` Running “npm start” in the aleph/ui directory results in the following errors: `Module not found: Error: Can’t resolve ‘src/app/api’ in ‘/mnt/c/users/justin/documents/github/aleph/ui/src/actions’ LOG from ./node\_modules/sass-loader/dist/cjs.js sass-loader ./node\_modules/css-loader/dist/cjs.js??ruleSet[1].rules[1].oneOf[7].use[1]!./node\_modules/postcss-loader/dist/cjs.js??ruleSet[1].rules[1].oneOf[7].use[2]!./node\_modules/resolve-url-loader/index.js??ruleSet[1].rules[1].oneOf[7].use[3]!./node\_modules/sass-loader/dist/cjs.js??ruleSet[1].rules[1].oneOf[7].use[4]!./src/components/MappingEditor/MappingVerify.scss Deprecation This operation is parsed as: 0 - $aleph-grid-size \* 0.5 but you may have intended it to mean: 0 (-$aleph-grid-size \* 0.5) Add a space after - to clarify that it’s meant to be a binary operation, or wrap it in parentheses to make it a unary operation. This will be an error in future versions of Sass.

All of the module files are being copied correctly to the Docker container file structure, but it would appear the path references to the modules are looking for files in the wrong places. I’m not a developer by training or trade, and am trying to muddle my way through getting set up on Aleph, so any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I had wanted to apply to an Aleph account, but I see that applications are currently on hold, so I wanted to set up a local instance to see what Aleph could do. I currently have 2 data sets - 600k political party leaders, and 200k candidates from the 2024 legislative elections - that I’d like to import, and would likely be able to add several hundred campaign donation reports in the weeks ahead, and would like to incorporate public procurement data in the near future. I’m keenly interested in potential corruption and conflicts of interest in Indonesia, having spent the last 13 years working on these issues in Indonesia. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, -Justin ---

Hi Justin, I had a quick look at the details you shared and noticed something: > However, whenever I run “make web”, I get a series (20 or more) of “module not found” errors. > > ```txt > Module not found: Error: Can't resolve > 'src/screens/ExportsScreen/ExportsScreen' in > '/mnt/c/users/justin/documents/github/aleph/ui/src/app'` > > ``` Can you confirm that the errors you get when you run `make web` are indeed this error message? In particular, I’m wondering about the path `/mnt/c/users/justin/documents/...` which looks like a path from your host machine/WSL, but not a path from inside of the UI container. If you get a slightly different module resolution error with paths starting with `/alephui/src/...` could you post that here? If that is the case, you may also want to try reinstalling dependencies inside of the UI container like this: ```auto docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml exec ui npm install ``` ---

Thanks so much for the suggestion, and for your time on the call today. Ultimately, going the route of installing a basic production version was the winning solution - and one that I probably never would have considered on my own. Thank you!!
