Maybe it’s just missing in your list, but did you make sure to have cloned the platform project, too? I.e.
git clone [https://github.com/shopware/development.git](https://github.com/shopware/development.git) cd development
$ git clone [https://github.com/shopware/platform.git](https://github.com/shopware/platform.git) ?

Thank you for the answer.
The platform is there, was installed via `composer.`
i’v used these [installation recommendations :](https://docs.shopware.com/en/shopware-platform-dev-en/getting-started/installation-guide)
Per default the development template has `shopware/platform` in the version `dev-master` as requirement in its `composer.json` file.
The Shopware platform code would be placed into a `vendor/shopware/platform` directory.

Ah, ok. I guess you checked the [System Requirements](https://docs.shopware.com/en/shopware-platform-dev-en/getting-started/requirements), too.
Just in case it might help you: In my environment, using Node.js and NPM in the versions listed in System Requirements led to strange errors, which went away only after updating both of them to the **latest** version.
