Missing Control Panel Assets (Vite manifest not found)

You've just installed Statamic and are ready to jump into the Control Panel. You head to /cp and are met with a Vite manifest not found error.

The most likely reason for this is that you have Composer plugins disabled.

There may be a number of reasons why they are disabled, such as:

You answered no when it asked if you want to trust the plugin
You have them disabled in your global composer config
Your Docker setup doesn't allow them

Regardless, you'll need to at least enable one. When installing or updating Statamic via Composer, we use the pixelfear/composer-dist-plugin plugin to copy the assets into the appropriate location.

You may explicitly allow it by adding the following to your composer.json.

{
    "name": "statamic/statamic",
    "require": {},
    "autoload": {},
    "config": { 
        "optimize-autoloader": true,
        "preferred-install": "dist",
        "sort-packages": true,
        "allow-plugins": { 
            "pestphp/pest-plugin": true,
            "php-http/discovery": true,
            "pixelfear/composer-dist-plugin": true 
        } 
    }, 
    "minimum-stability": "dev",
    "prefer-stable": true
}

Delete the vendor/statamic/cms directory. This will force Composer to re-download Statamic in the next step.
```
rm -rf vendor/statamic/cms
```
Update Statamic
```
composer update statamic/cms
```

Hot Tip!

For Docker specifically, you may be able to avoid this in the future by adding this to your Dockerfile before any composer commands:

ENV COMPOSER_ALLOW_SUPERUSER=1
