1. Install any ui5-webcomponent

@ranielzed This seems to be a snowpack issue and there is even an open issue in the snowpack github repository:
FredKSchott/snowpack#3438

For background, we are using the exports feature of package.json to have nicer looking imports (you can skip the dist part because of the mapping). This was introduced in #3208

I have tested both rollup and vitejs, they both work fine. May I suggest as a workaround to use vitejs until snowpack addresses this issue? Our getting started documentation has a simple usage example:

Vitejs has the same no-bundling development workflow as snowpack, there is also a comparison to snowpack here:
