Building locally

  • Install Node.js version 10 and the latest available npm@6
    • If you are using nvm (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 ci
    • If you have issues with node-sass compilation, try npm rebuild node-sass
  • Build the project to the ./dist/ folder with npm run dist.
  • Optionally, to start a development build (e.g. with logging and file watching) run npm start instead.
    • To start the React DevTools and Redux DevTools Extension alongside the app, use npm run start:dev.
      • React DevTools will open in a separate window; no browser extension is required
      • Redux DevTools will need to be installed as a browser extension. Open the Redux Remote DevTools (shown in the context menu and in the extension menu) to access Redux state logs.
        • You will also need to check the "Use custom (local) server" checkbox in the Remote DevTools Settings, using the default server configuration (host localhost, port 8000, secure connection checkbox unchecked)

Uncompressed builds can be found in /dist, compressed builds can be found in /builds once they're built.
