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.

1. 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
   }

2. Delete the vendor/statamic/cms directory. This will force Composer to re-download Statamic in the next step.

   rm -rf vendor/statamic/cms

3. Update Statamic

   composer update statamic/cms
