I have a Bedrock site that uses Acorn and Sage 10 and if I understand correctly I should install Acorn in the root directory where I have my Bedrock composer.json. If I do so, I get an error message when I’m trying to load my site: Error locating autoloader. Please run composer install.
If I use Composer to install Acorn in my theme directly, my theme loads without issues.
I’d like to only use the composer.json in the root of my Bedrock site. According to the documentation this should be possible and should actually be the way to install Acorn.
My composer.json in Bedrock:
