I just checked and the plugin directory is in the source, but after you mentioned that I took a look inside the directory and it was empty. I’m using Git and I didn’t have vendor/plugins in the .gitignore so I’m not sure why it isn’t also including the contents of each plugin. ---

Fixed the error. I had to remove the .git and .gitignore directory and file from the plugin directories individually.
