Dashboard zenith missing dashboard core

Website Templates
1

I purchased dashboardpack-zenith but the zip that was sent it incomplete

in the dashboardpack-zenith.zip file it says you need dashboard-core as a dependency (see below) but it is not included in the dashboard zenith template pack. please provide a link to this file.

@dashboardpack/core (Local Dependency)

Linked via file:../dashboardpack-core. This is the shared component library across DashboardPack templates. It provides:

  • UI primitives (components/ui/) — 30+ shadcn/ui-style components (button, card, dialog, form, data-table, etc.)
  • Shared components (components/shared/) — PageHeader, EmptyState, ConfirmDialog, DataTable, LazyChart, DateRangePicker
  • Providers (providers/) — ThemeProvider (dark/light/system), SidebarProvider (collapse state, layout mode, container mode)
  • Mock data (lib/data/) — All page data (orders, products, customers, invoices, users, analytics, chat, mail, kanban, calendar, files, notifications)
  • Data types (lib/data/types.ts) — Shared TypeScript interfaces for all data models
  • i18n (lib/i18n/) — LocaleProvider, useTranslations() hook, message files (en, de, fr)
  • Utilities (lib/utils.ts) — cn() helper (clsx + tailwind-merge)

When adding new pages, mock data goes in @dashboardpack/core/lib/data/, not in the Zenith repo. Import pattern: import { orders } from "@dashboardpack/core/lib/data".

Hi avlbf, welcome — and thanks for flagging this!

Good news: nothing is missing from your purchase. @dashboardpack/core is a public npm package, not a separate file you need. Just unzip, then run npm install followed by npm run dev inside the dashboardpack-zenith folder — npm will download @dashboardpack/core automatically along with the other dependencies, and the dashboard will start at http://localhost:3737.

The file you quoted (CLAUDE.md) is an internal development notes file that shouldn’t have been in the zip, and its mention of a “local dependency” referred to our development setup, not yours. We’ve removed it from the download to avoid confusion — feel free to re-download, or simply delete CLAUDE.md and ignore it.

If npm install gives you any trouble (you’ll need Node.js 20+), let me know and I’ll help you get running.

Thanks for the clear explanation and quick clarification. Removing the internal CLAUDE.md note was definitely the right move. It’ll save future users a lot of confusion. Glad to know @dashboardpack/core is pulled automatically via npm install.

It looks like the template package is missing a required dependency. Since Zenith references dashboardpack-core as a local package, the seller should provide that folder or an updated complete ZIP. check the purchase/download dashboard first, but if it’s not there, the vendor needs to fix the distribution rather than expecting users to recreate a core library manually.

Thanks for the clarification and quick response. That explains the confusion regarding @dashboardpack/core and the reference in CLAUDE.md. I appreciate you removing the internal development file from future downloads to avoid similar issues for other users. I’ll re-download the package and proceed with the installation steps you outlined. If I run into any issues with npm install or the Node.js requirements, I’ll reach out for further assistance. Thanks again for the help!
