node --version

For development usage:

npm run frontend-build:development

For production:

npm run frontend-build:production

Note: running npm run frontend-build:watch will also build the front-end code.

make test

To run the Admin Frontend App for local development use the run_all target. This will install requirements, build assets and run the app.

NPM is used for all frontend build tasks. The commands available are:

• npm run frontend-build:development (compile the frontend files for development)
• npm run frontend-build:production (compile the frontend files for production)
• npm run frontend-build:watch (watch all frontend files & rebuild when anything changes)
• npm run frontend-install (install all non-NPM dependancies)

Note: npm run frontend-install is run as a post-install task after you run npm install.
