How should jcarousel be installed and configured? To achieve a slider with 5 slides in sight and sliding 1 at a time, I thought https://www.drupal.org/project/views_slideshow_jcarousel would be a good choice. Also, because I already use views_slideshow.
However the installation instructions are a bit confusing. They seem to relate to Drupal 7 and/or combined with Drupal 8. 

At first I installed through Composer and activated the module in Drupals' User Interface. This did not work.
Then I downloaded the zip and tried to place files in different locations. Because it is not clear to me where I should place files, this also failed.

Anybody knows how I could get this to work?

Update: as was noticed by Stefan, the dist folder should be in an other location than the docs (sites/all/libraries/jcarousel/dist) indicate. I moved the contents of the dist folder to that new location (/libraries/jcarousel/lib), this didn't make it work yet. I can see the carousel options in the view that I made, but it doesn't function yet.

I'm setting the view > slideshow settings > widgets > pager type to jcarousel pager. At that point there's a select list for skin without options to choose from. The output of the slider is an unformatted list with the slider below that.
Perhaps I'm still doing something wrong?
From looking at the code you need to put the jcarousel library here:

/libraries/jcarousel/lib/jquery.jcarousel.min.js


This means install the module as usual and then put the library like given above in the folder libraries

But it seems that there is truly a flaw in setup instructions: The module page states like this:


  Download and extract the jCarousel library to libraries folder of
  drupal root. The source code can be found here:
  
  https://github.com/jsor/jcarousel/releases
  
  the folder name you create for this will need to be "jcarousel". the
  full path should be: libraries/jcarousel
  
  and when you are done, the following path will need to be available:
  sites/all/libraries/jcarousel/dist


This is a mixup of D7 and D8 as TO already stated and in addition if you do it like so, the path given in views_slideshow_jcarousel.libraries.yml will not be available.

I created an issue to maybe get this fixed: https://www.drupal.org/project/views_slideshow_jcarousel/issues/3084864
