I’m running windows 10 with wsl2 and using Ubuntu 20.04LTS as my distro.

I installed all requirements listed on [roots.io](http://roots.io) for Bedrock, Acorn and Sage and everything is working except for when I go to activate the sage theme. Its throws a DirectoryNotFoundException

Code on line 82 from /vendor/roots/acorn/src/Acorn/Bootstrap/LoadConfiguration.php

```
$files = [];

        $configPath = realpath($app->configPath());

        foreach (Finder::create()->files()->name('*.php')->in($configPath) as $file) {
            $directory = $this->getNestedDirectory($file, $configPath);

            $files[$directory . basename($file->getRealPath(), '.php')] = $file->getRealPath();
        }

        ksort($files, SORT_NATURAL);

        return $files;
```

```

Thanks I have removed composer.lock then change version of acorn in composer.json , then composer install ;  
I think the problem that I have changed the composer json in themes instead .  
Thanks very much for your help
