How to modify PyREPL:

Note: PyREPL was built using React

1. Download Code
2. In a command prompt/terminal, change the working directory (cd) to the PyREPLforSPIKE directory. For example, if saved the code inside your Downloads folder, the command would be cd Downloads/PyREPLforSPIKE
3. Run npm install. Requires NodeJS. Run npm --version to check if you have NodeJS installed.
4. To start the development server, run npm start. You're now ready to start editing the project!
5. When you have a production ready version ready to be published run npm run build to make a static production build.
