Hi! Just to check, did you run the command “flogo install” after running “flogo create”? The latter command will create the outline of an application for you and the former command will allow you to install new activities into an existing app.

@retgits Thanks for you reminding. Just try to create & install success, means install should be working in project level, so seems that it is not particularly friendly in combination with web-ui development, or web-ui should install a new activity/trigger by link.

Thanks for you patience.
Best regard.

@josenspire yes, first you need to create the project structure, as @retgits had said. Then you'll cd into that dir and run the flogo install command. If you create an application using the -f switch and specify an existing application that you created via the Web UI, then the CLI will install all the dependencies for you.
