Since the recent changes in commit b1ca28f (which added the build-css task as a mandatory prerequisite for build and serve), the project now strictly requires Node.js and local npm dependencies to generate compiled.css.

Currently, the Quick Start section in README.md is missing these steps, causing errors for contributors who follow the existing instructions.

Problem
Running bundle exec rake serve without running npm install first results in the following error:

   1 npm run build-css
   2
   3 > www.ruby-lang.org@1.0.0 build-css
   4 > tailwindcss -i ./stylesheets/tailwind.css -o ./stylesheets/compiled.css

     currently included in the bundle, perhaps you meant to add it to your Gemfile? (Gem::Exception)

Changes

  • Added Node.js to the Prerequisites list.
  • Added npm install to the Get It Running setup instructions.
