1. Clone the project with git clone https://github.com/maael/simple-express-react.git
2. Check node version is 6.0.0+. If not swap node version.
3. Check npm version is 2+. 3 can be a bit slow. (TODO: Yarn?)
4. npm install

You should now be able to run npm start and see Main Application at http://localhost:4242/ in your browser.

• npm start - Start the server and webpack dev server if in development.
• npm run lint - Lint the code with snazzy (a pretty standard linter).
• npm run build - Generate the development webpack bundle.
• npm run build-prod - Generate the production webpack bundle and source map.
• npm run clean - Remove any webpack bundle and source maps.
