`npx create-maizzle` Cannot find module

[MBichurin]

• Maizzle Version: 0.1.0
• Node.js Version: 21.1.0

My operational system: MacOS Ventura 13.6.4

The create-maizzle package doesn't work on my MacOS machine. This is the recommended way to install Maizzle (and the only one I found so far).

When I run npx create-maizzle or npm install -g create-maizzle it outputs:

node:internal/modules/esm/resolve:255
    throw new ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND(
          ^

Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find module '/opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/create-maizzle/src/index.js' imported from /opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/create-maizzle/bin/create-maizzle.mjs

  code: 'ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND',
  url: 'file:///opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/create-maizzle/src/index.js'
}

Here's the output of running ls /opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/create-maizzle/:

README.md    bin          node_modules package.json

As you see, there's no src/ directory, so no wonder create-maizzle.mjs fails.

What do I do to resolve the issue? Are there alternative ways of installing maizzle?

[Cosmin Popovici]

Sorry about that, rushed and forgot to include src under files in package.json.

Released v0.2.0 that fixes it, please try again.

[Cosmin Popovici]

As for alternatives, create-maizzle is just a wizard that downloads a repo and installs dependencies.

You can achieve the same thing manually:

# download the repo
npx degit maizzle/maizzle my-project

# change directory
cd my-project

# install dependencies
npm install

[MBichurin]

Thanks, the v0.2.0 worked. I can give maizzle another try now
A suggestion: in case the create-maizzle doesn't work in the future again, it might be good to mention alternative installation options on the docs. Currently, there's only one option mentioned here, and if it doesn't work, the user is blocked

Added manual setup instructions to the docs:
