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](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!
