Laravel Telescope error "The Mix manifest does not exist

Question

I'm having trouble running telescope in an environment with apache + php 8.1 on a centos 8 server.

i would not like to install node on this machine to fix the problem, i kept the same folder name for publishing "/var/www/public"

I tried using php artisan vendor:publish --tag=telescope-assets --force but was unsuccessful.

the same project on my local machine runs normally
