```

Kindly suggest me the the way to add this module,

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '@kbn/i18n/react' in public components  
@kbn/i18n/react doesn't exist in node\_modules

As per requirement testing,  
Kibana version 8.5.1  
python version 3.11

Hi @Sunil_Jagtap. Have you run `yarn kbn bootstrap` to install the dependencies?

[More info in the documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/development-getting-started.html#_install_dependencies)

Hi Nick,

Yes I did that - Issue resolved for now after I checked that module '@kbn/i18n/react' not exist at node\_modules instead that the module '@kbn/i18n-react' exists for version 8.5.1 & it worked.

Thank you.
