Any help is appreciated.

Did you run npm install in the bokehjs directory?

No I didn’t and also there is no package.json in the root directory.

I was not talking about the root directory, I was talking about the bokehjs directory.

In order to make sure that everything works, please follow this guide: Contribute — Bokeh 2.4.2 Documentation
