Improve Development Instructions #249

Open MarkKoz opened 2 years ago

  1. I have Python 3.9 installed and things seemed to build just fine. Perhaps Python 2, which is EOL, is not required, and Python 3 is adequate? What should I look for to confirm 3.9 worked?
  2. The Node.js installer now includes windows-build-tools. Not sure at which version it started including it, nor whether something like nvm-windows would also install it. It's worth making a note of anyway.
  3. npm ci is preferable over npm install for the newer versions of npm that support it.
  4. Is it really necessary to install gulp-cli globally? Why can it not work as a local development dependency?
  5. Is there something like HMR or at least automatically rebuilding changes and letting me refresh to see them? Currently, I either restart the app or make changes in the developer console.
