Invalid Parameter – yii\base\InvalidParamException

The file or directory to be published does not 
exist: C:\xampp\htdocs\cult\vendor\bower/jquery-ui

I am getting this error. I started with downloading yii's basic template. Then installed composer and ran the command to install jui (require --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-jui) using composer.The installation did succeed without errors in command prompt, but got this error. Tried all fixes available. i have developed the application completely, stuck with the need to implement a date-picker.

You don't provide enough information. - robsch
@robsch Can you please tell me what is the information needed? I am pretty new to composer. not very familiar with stuff. Quite confused here. :( - K3V
Provide the working dir, the commands you have entered, the output, any further details that could help to answer. - robsch
i started with downloading basic yii2 application template. using xampp for windows. root folder C:\xampp\htdocs\cult. composer commands used : composer require --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-jui - K3V
Sorry... but please update your question, don't chat! SO is only helpful if we have questions and answers that are as clear as possible. You have downloaded Yii's basic template manually? - robsch

Yii2 is very simple to install, follow the steps given in documentation.

To install via composer

composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:~1.0.3"
composer create-project --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-app-basic basic

given the discription in doc

The first command installs the composer asset plugin which allows managing bower and npm package dependencies through Composer. You only need to run this command once for all. The second command installs Yii in a directory named basic. You can choose a different directory name if you want.
