made some progress by running
    make install_partsbin

Now parts and parts bin can be dragged out, but then I am getting:

Error when trying to update
AttributeConnection(WebResource(http://localhost:9001/PartsBin/).contentDocument
--> WebResource(http://localhost:9001/PartsBin/).pvtProcessPropfindForSubElements)
with value :

Would there be any hints for that -
