I'm trying to build/run an ember-cli based project that I got from a colleague. When I try and run it with

> ember server

I'm getting the following error:

    > ember server
    version: 0.0.40
    ENOENT, no such file or directory "vendor/"
    Error: ENOENT, no such file or directory "vendor/"

Before starting the server - I successfully ran both 'npm install' and 'bower install'.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

do you have a .bowerrc file in the project? the content should be:

{
  "directory": "vendor"
}

Then run bower install again

Explicitly adding a .bowerrc file works - but it turns out what I really needed to do was run ...

> ember init

Once I ran that the .bowerrc file was created for me.
