Local Development

• Make sure you have the correct version of Node.js installed (>= 18). You can use asdf or nvm for easier management of different Node.js versions.
• Run npm install to install dependencies
• Run npm run dev to start the local dev server. While this can run without a local Read the Docs development instance, not everything will work.
• Run npm test to run the test suite, using web-test-runner. You can run also npm run test:dev to leave tests running in watch mode or npm run test:debug to manually test the suite in a browser.
