Updated README w steps to get a local app instance. #69

Worked with Maggie on getting a local instance up to use for acceptance testing until a stable staging env is established. Went from a "clean" (no Ruby installation etc) machine.
Includes the addition of file extensions in application.scss. Not sure why this was needed, but it got the app running. There might be an additional step involving JS dependency installation that I missed here.
When I got it up, I also I added something to my bash_profile and then sourced it. I think these instructions will allow that step to be avoided. Lmk if not and I'll put that step in.

@chelseatroy I have had a fair share of issues with tailwind.css locally and on CI testing. Since it was initialized in a previous pull request and merged all I had to do was to yarn install to get it rolling.

If you don't have yarn yet, could you try to brew install yarn (takes some time to install at first), you also have more options here for yarn installation.

Then run yarn install after bundle install. Remove the .css extensions in app/assets/stylesheets/application.scss, run rails s and see if the site is up and running for you.

Ah, yep, @AliTopal89 that works. Good call! I'll update the README with that and change the file extensions back.
