In the root directory of the application, run:

# install dependencies, etc.
make bootstrap

# run the web app
make run-flask

Any Python code changes you make should be picked up automatically in development. If you're developing JavaScript code, run npm run watch to achieve the same.

# install dependencies, etc.
make bootstrap
# run all the tests
make test
# continuously run js tests
npm run test-watch

To run a specific JavaScript test, you'll need to copy the full command from package.json.

requirements.txt is generated from the requirements.in in order to pin versions of all nested dependencies. If requirements.in has been changed, run make freeze-requirements to regenerate it.
