Please follow these steps below to build Linedot Chart locally:
- git clone [email protected]:Microsoft/powerbi-visuals-linedotchart.git
- cd powerbi-visuals-linedotchart
- npm i
- npm start (starts development server)
- npm run package (builds a pbiviz package)
We use npm commands instead of global pbiviz since it allows to use the local version of pbiviz instead of global one.

- I think you need to add a d3 injector is file like described here. http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Developer/Setting-up-D3-V4-with-Custom-Visuals-and-Types/td-p/330101
The d3 injector is required for d3 v4.x.x and v5.x.x but Line Dot Chart uses d3 v3.
We'd reccomend to follow steps described above to fix the issues.
