installing dune-configurator

[progman1]

from a clone of the dune repo how should a single package be installed?
I used

dune build  -p dune-configurator @install
dune install -p dune-configurator

and got this:

Error: The following <package>.install are missing:
- _build/default/dune.install
- _build/default/dune-action-plugin.install
- _build/default/dune-glob.install
- _build/default/dune-private-libs.install
- _build/default/dune-rpc.install
- _build/default/dune-rpc-lwt.install
- _build/default/dune-site.install
- _build/default/dyn.install
- _build/default/fiber.install
- _build/default/ocamlc-loc.install
- _build/default/stdune.install
Hint: try running: dune build [-p <pkg>] @install

I can build most of those dependencies by listing them for -p but
when getting to dune-rpc-lwt I cannot as I don't have lwt installed.
since opam did in fact install dune/dune-configurator in another switch successfully
which didn't have lwt, indicates that not all these dependencies are actually required.

since the above hint is exactly as I already did, is there a problem here, a special situation?

You want to do dune build -p dune-configurator and then dune install dune-configurator. (dune install doesn't have a -p option).

If dune build -p dune-configurator complains about missing dependencies, then build and install those first.
