I compiled Ray according to the [doc](https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/ray-contribute/development.html). The code can be run normally, but it will cause the Dashboard to not work properly, the same as just `pip install ray`. So, How to compile `ray[default]`？

HI @ZhengSJ ,

have you built the frontend dashboard code? You have to run the commands `npm install` and `npm run build` from within the dashboard/client folder.

If that doesn’t help, can you share the `/tmp/ray/session_latest/logs/dashboard.log` and `/tmp/ray/session_latest/logs/dashboard_agent.log` log files here after launching your ray cluster and attempting to visit the dashboard UI.
