## Building locally
- Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) version 8 and the latest available npm@6
- If you are using [nvm](https://github.com/creationix/nvm#installation) (recommended) running `nvm use` will automatically choose the right node version for you.
- If you install Node.js manually, ensure you're using npm@6
- Install npm@6 using `npm install -g npm@6`
- Install dependencies: `npm install`
- Install gulp globally with `npm install -g gulp-cli`.
- Build the project to the `./dist/` folder with `gulp build`.
- Optionally, to rebuild on file changes, run `gulp dev`.
- To package .zip files for distribution, run `gulp zip`, or run the full build & zip with `gulp dist`.
Uncompressed builds can be found in `/dist`, compressed builds can be found in `/builds` once they're built.
