Manifest not being found on first build

[hiteacheryouare]

I just used this to scaffold out a basic project, and made no changes to it. I ran npm install and then npm run build, and it threw this error

failed to load config from ./vite.config.js
error during build:
TypeError [ERR_IMPORT_ASSERTION_TYPE_MISSING]: Module "file://[LOCAL-PATH-TO-REPO]/manifest.json" needs an import assertion of type "json"
