Hello.  
Always do the same way:  
truffle init  
npm init -y  
npm install @openzeppelin/contracts

Contracts in node\_modules/ exists.  
All looks like always, but when i try to truffle compile:

ParserError: Source "@openzeppelin/token/ERC721/ERC721.sol" not found

My import:  
import "@openzeppelin/token/ERC721/ERC721.sol";

I'm trying to change path manualy to this contracts but have the same error.  
Reinstall all project - same.  
Install solc for this 0.8.0, specify truffle config - nothing.

Never use something 0.8.0+, any problems with it, or what?

Hello @Ched

The correct import path is

```auto
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC721/ERC721.sol";

```
