Unhandled rejection Error: Cannot find module './lando-cli/docs/.vuepress/guides.json' when installing from source

[gilzow]

Following the directions for installing from source: https://docs.lando.dev/basics/installation.html#from-source Followed the installation directions for Hyperdrive v0.6.1 to make sure I have all the needed dependencies. I had node v16 installed so it suggested downgrading. Hyperdrive continued with the installation of node12 and the hyperdrive version of vim and completed with:

Installation complete. You have made it into hyperspace!
Please run again if you want to verify installation success.

Note: Install from source notes indicates we need the latest version of node 14 but hyperdrive installed node v12.
Continued with directions on cloning the lando cli repo and running yarn.

I then added the symlink per the instructions. Running lando.dev (or ./bin/lando.js from the repo directory) produces the following error:

Inspected the lando-cli directory and there was no docs folder present. I manually created the ./docs/.vuepress directories and made an empty ( {}) guides.json file and now lando.dev runs as it should. However, I assume these directories and file should be present?

Thank you @gilzow - my installation was a little more fiddly, but your technique of adding the empty file worked for me. :-)
