How to install Jquery UI in YII2?

Question

I work on YII project (advanced) and want to use JUI Extension for Yii 2 I've put "yiisoft/yii2-jui": "~2.0.0" line to my composer.json file and run composer install. After that I've tried to use widget:

<?php

use yii\jui\Sortable;

/* @var $this yii\web\View */
/* @var $searchModel common\models\SearchSomeModel */
/* @var $dataProvider yii\data\ActiveDataProvider */

echo Sortable::widget([
    'items' => [
        'Item 1',
        ['content' => 'Item2'],
        [
            'content' => 'Item3',
            'options' => ['tag' => 'li'],
        ],
    ],
    'options' => ['tag' => 'ul'],
    'itemOptions' => ['tag' => 'li'],
    'clientOptions' => ['cursor' => 'move'],
]); ?>

But there was an error:

The file or directory to be published does not exist: /path/advanced/vendor/bower/jquery-ui

Then I've read a recomendation on github to remove composer.lock and /vendor folder and made composer install again.

After that any page of my app gives error:

The file or directory to be published does not exist: /path/advanced/vendor/bower/jquery/dist

What am I doing wrong?

Preferred way to install extension is with composer but if you want it to install manually then make sure you follow these steps. — Insane Skull
As I've write, I used composer, didn't try to install extention manually. — Roman K
try reinstalling using: php composer.phar require --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-jui — Insane Skull

It seems you have outdated fxp plugin.

Run:

composer self-update
composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:~1.2.0"
cd /path/to/advanced/application
composer update
