You should already have the Google Cloud SDK and NodeJS installed. If you don't:

1. Install the google cloud sdk. Note that modern Macs are 64 bit. After installing the sdk, also install the python app engine components (see PERTS docs on install details). Run gcloud components update if you already have the sdk installed.
2. Install the newest LTS version of nodeJS (last documented at 8.11.1).

With that system-wide software installed, set up Yellowstone:

1. In a terminal, cd into your yellowstone directory, e.g. cd yellowstone.
2. Run npm install.
3. Run npm start.
4. Open a new terminal (⌘T or ⌘N).
5. Run npm run server.
6. Open localhost:9080 in your browser.

This application uses SASS (*.scss) which compiles to CSS stylesheets. SASS allows for nested styles, cross-browser mixins, variables, and much more.

To make any CSS changes, make sure you've completed the steps in Bootstrapping. Then edit the files in /sass. They will automatically be compiled when you save the edited file. Then refresh your browser to see changes.

$ npm start

Watches .scss files to recompile corresponding .css so you can see changes locally as you update the files.

$ npm run sass:build

Builds a minified production stylesheet
