    Code: MODULE_NOT_FOUND

There is no index.js file at that location, but there is an index.ts file.

This is because this recipe has index.ts but main points to index.js which doesn't exist.

Another similar issue I had, was in a fresh project the install fails if there is not a .blitz folder, I first had to run the dev command whereafter the blitz install ... worked.

@PaulPCIO ok that's a bug. Want to open an issue in the blitz repo?
