bifold-core needs to be a symbolic to ./bifold/packages/legacy/core. Make sure you git is setup to handle symbolic links

[nelaturuk]

Thank you.
I tried enabling symbolic links using the following command: git config --global core.symlinks true

It still shows the same error on yarn install. Is there anything else we need to do?

Am I supposed to move bifold code somewhere? Also ,this is being tried on the Windows powershell.

[cvarjao]

Unfortunately, we don't test build on windows, and the team uses Mac, so I am unable to reproduce.
However, we are removing the symlink requirement and that might help.
See PR #1647 for progress
