Hello guys!  
I just installed Discourss on my server, registered and activated the admin account and the next step was the wizard, which shows as an empty page: [https://cl.ly/051b1N0Y0100](https://cl.ly/051b1N0Y0100)  
I’ve also checked the console and it seams it missing ‘virtual-dom’ module: [https://cl.ly/081D1r2Q0E2n](https://cl.ly/081D1r2Q0E2n)

Any ideas what’s wrong? It’s literally a brand new install with zero config. I tried rebuilding the app with no avail.

Thank you and i owe a beer to whomever can help!

Did you install Discourse using [these instructions](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md)? If not, how did you install Discourse?

Hello Felix! Thank you for your reply!  
Yes, I have installed exactly following those instructions.

Weird! On my install, the wizard is loading fine, but I’m just tracking the `beta` branch.  
You didn’t happen to install a plugin (by adding it to `app.yml`) before you got started?

Nope, I’ve literally made a clean install, without changing anything. Mainly cause its my first time, so i don’t like adding complexity to the forum before understanding a bit about it.  
I am pretty sure is the missing dependency. The rest of the forum seems to work, but it keeps bugging me to finish the wizard setup.  
Do you recon i should give a different version a try? 🙂

Is the wizard important though? since i can change settings in the forum anyway and fully use it. I am thinking to just ignore it.

Hm, in that case, I’d guess that there is a regression that broke the wizard – maybe a team member can check on that.

In the meantime, you _can_ configure everything without the wizard, it will just be a bit more inconvenient.  
If you decide to go for that route, be sure to look for alerts in the top-right corner of the admin dashboard – they will warn you about some important settings you should definitely customize 🙂

Got exactly the same problem while attempting to install Discourse yesterday. I also followed to the letter the cloud installation instructions.

If you haven’t completed configuring Discourse already, visit `/admin/upgrade` and update Discourse, then try again. @eviltrout has fixed the issue:

Thank you for reporting this problem! 🙂
