Troubleshooting Installation: See Drupal Installation FAQ.
Note: Once you've created your custom theme, you can remove Emulsify as a dependency of your project. If you'd like to get updates as we push them, solely for educational/best-practice information, feel free to leave it in and receive the updates. Updating Emulsify will not affect your custom theme in any way.
The start
command spins up a local server, compiles everything (runs all required gulp tasks), and watches for changes.
