- Install docker https://docs.docker.com/ (Follow the installation instructions for your platform)
- Build the image
docker build -t hoverboard .
Now you have prepared the local development environment!
Now you can run the project with local sources:
docker run -it -v "$PWD":/app -p 8080:8080 hoverboard
or build the production version:
docker run -v "$PWD":/app hoverboard polymer build
