  Code Block
  language sh
  cd packages/esm-form-engine-app yarn link ... # where ... is the path to your `openmrs-form-engine-lib` directory from the previous step. It could look like: /Users/johndoe/code/openmrs-form-engine-lib.

Open the package.json file in the esm-patient-chart-app and confirm that in the resolutions section, you have something like

"resolutions": {
  "@openmrs/openmrs-form-engine-lib": "portal:/Users/johndoe/code/openmrs-form-engine-lib"
}
