2. After reaching the directory where our script is located; we install the necessary modules to the package. ( Example Command: 'npm install --force' / you should definitely use the --force tag.  )       ![](/files/ATURBYOuoSaayZxcrtY0)
3. After finishing the package installation process, you should type '**npm run build**' in the console to get a build.

{% hint style="danger" %}
If you have already completed step 2 in the directory you are in, you can skip step 2 in your next build process and access the directory directly with cd and then you can get the build with the npm run build command.
