If you don't want to type these commands every time, you can use a script suitable for your OS (examples in the scripts folder). I can be placed e.g. on the desktop and run with a double click. cd paths in the scripts should be adjusted to the actual location of the project.
npm run build - this will run when installing dependencies with npm - you may need to run it manually if any changes are made to the code
