I think this is the same error reported over at

> Same, it errors when trying to bake the admin user profile. It works after adding a step to yarn install before creating the admin [as suggested](https://meta.discourse.org/t/install-discourse-for-development-using-docker/102009/239) by @zergov. I went ahead and created a PR to add it: [DEV: Yarn install to avoid error during initial migration seed by dsims · Pull Request #20866 · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/20866)

I just merged @dsims’s PR into Discourse core, so if you pull the latest `main`, things should work much better 🤞
