Unable to install forked version of repo as dependency

See original GitHub issue

Thanks for the great library! I’m interested in contributing some features, but am running into an issue adding my forked version of the nivo library to my project while a feature I added is in a PR.

From my project, I am installing nivo as such

npm i <username>/<reponame>#branchname

The installed module ends up looking significantly different than the npm published version of your library, and therefore I’m not able to import components into my project, receiving Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'nivo' in ... errors.

Are there any build scripts that I need to run and push up to github in order to install the library directly from a personal fork on github (not from a module published to npm)?

Yes, you need to build the package using make package-build-bar for example, and then link it to your project (e.g. yarn link @nivo/bar). nivo is no more a single package, the older mono-package is still on npm but is not maintained anymore. You won’t be able to install the package directly from a github repo as the compiled code isn’t versioned, hence the link usage.
