Error on install directions

[osseonews]

When we try to use this and follow the instructions, after doing everything and then running, npm run dev locally, we get an error: Error: Pagefind was not able to build an index. Most likely, the directory passed to Pagefind was empty or did not contain any html files

this is kind of circular, as we are running this on local dev first, so we don't have any html files, so how does the run dev actually work if PagFind requires html files before a build?

Hi! 👋🏻

Run dev:search:index first

[osseonews]

Thanks. that doesn't work either locally. Same exact error. The only way we were able to do this was to run the build locally, npm run build, and then add the pagefind to the gitignore. Not sure if running a build locally is the correct way to do it, but otherwise the pagefind never works locally.
