Clarification on using Lerna for package management

does

lerna run build --parallel

run

npm i

in each submodule directory before it tries to build?

Hi ! Lerna can be challenging sometimes.

lerna run build

will only run

npm run build

in every package, and will not install any dependencies for you. You're probably looking for

lerna bootstrap

, which will run

npm install

in every package.

Cheers 🙂
I feel like the build that comes with the sapper starter is lacking the bootstrap step, I've added it to the main package.json so I'll let you know how I fare
