startup error "No such file or directory, swiper"

An error occurred while loading ‘/home/dka/.emacs.d/init.el’:

File error: Cannot open load file, No such file or directory, swiper

So I went into /home/dka/.emacs.d/packs/dev/foundation-pack/init.el
and commented out swiper
but then on restart I got
An error occurred while loading ‘/home/dka/.emacs.d/init.el’:

File error: Cannot open load file, No such file or directory, dash

Try changing into the directory into which you cloned the repo and run:

$ git submodule update --init --recursive

Emacs Live relies on a number of Emacs packages that it needs to fetch from external git repositories before it will work.

Bump. I have a failure along the lines of defmethod is not defined and running git submodule update --init --recursive is taking much longer than it should.
