npm build errors out modules not found

[exit151]

So I posted about using the yarn on centos, seeming to work but the web config errors out, and looking for the log for dashy and it's not getting any activity, so instead of just waiting, the guide recommended trying npm as an alternative. I installed npm and ran the commands and this is the result I get:

__ERROR Failed to compile with 2 errors 3:33:50 PM

These relative modules were not found:

• ../../public/conf.yml in ./src/utils/ConfigAccumalator.js
• ../public/conf.yml in ./src/router.js
  Build completed in 93.357s

ERROR Build failed with errors.
[importantuser@localhost dashy]$__

Hoping while the yarn crowd may not be huge, there is more widespread adoption of npm for this? Anyone have any ideas on what's wrong and what I can do?

Thanks,

Edit1: While looking at the console, I noticed npm noted there is a minor update release out.. Knowing absolutely nothing npm I tried running npm update and I got this (seems to have tried to update dashy?)

Aside from the username this is the exact same issue I get.
Steps to reproduce:

• Fresh install debian
• install git, npm, and nodejs
• clone dashy
• npm install yarn

I recommend using something else, and probably just staying away from all of these JavaScript framework based solutions.
