To compress the folder I cd into the parent folder and enter zip -r dist.zip dist/. I’ve also tried going into the dist folder, selecting all the files, right clicking and choosing “compress.” Is there another way to zip files that you would suggest?

Edit: It works!!! It seems like it started working after using the Archive.zip I got by going into the dist folder, selecting all the files, and right click-compressing that. @Dist thank you so much you are my hero.
