Error: during development, dashboard assets must be present when running powerpipe dashboard

[TheInverseKey]

Powerpipe version (powerpipe -v)
v1.0.0

To reproduce

Follow the instructions from https://github.com/turbot/powerpipe/blob/develop/README.md
    instead of the installer scripts, I installed steampipe and powerpipe 
   ` the powerpipe -v works` and `powerpipe query run "select title from aws_account"`
Follow the instructions from https://powerpipe.io/docs#visualize-cloud-infrastructure
    When running powerpipe server, it prints `Error: during development, dashboard assets must be present when running powerpipe dashboard` and exits.

Powerpipe server requires dashboard assets to run. Dashboard assets are gzipped and built into the binary during release. When we run powerpipe server, they are unzipped and stored in $POWERPIPE_INSTALL_DIR/dashboard/assets dir. So if we have not downloaded the binary, they won't be available. Hence what you see here is expected.

The solution to this(building locally) is to run make dashboard_assets that builds the dashboard UI and extracts it to $POWERPIPE_INSTALL_DIR/dashboard/assets.

The only issue that needs fixing here is the error message, which should inform the users to run make dashboard_assets.

Thanks @TheInverseKey for raising this issue. I will get this done.

@pskrbasu Is there an ETA on a fix for this?

@TheInverseKey I will try and get the error message fixed next week. Thanks!
