Error with npm run package

[alsessions]

I am unable to run npm run package . It exits with the below error.

This on localhost (LINUX Mint) with a fresh installation and I have confirmed that package.json matches the one in the repo.

npm run package was removed from the current version. That's the reason it's not working.

So how do we package for production? I checked the documentation and the "First Things First" page says to run npm run package.

@matthewhegarty Hi. I removed the package script because it was unstable and sometimes caused problems. Thanks for giving a heads up on the blog post / documentation. It has been updated now. To upload the theme to your webserver, simply run npm run build and upload everything in your theme folder except the node_modules and src folders, and you should be good to go.

@olefredrik ok - thanks for the clarification
