Build local instance about flu_frequencies

[ArtPoon]

Running out of ideas. Building a more recent version of node.js (v18.16.0) than what's provided by apt (v10.19.0). Some installation documentation would be quite lovely.

[ArtPoon]

Ran npm install in web folder, since it contains a package.json file. Console spammed with messages like this:

npm notice created a lockfile as package-lock.json. You should commit this file.
npm WARN notsup Unsupported engine for [email protected]: wanted: {"node":"^12.20.0 || ^14.13.1 || >=16.0.0"} (current: {"node":"10.19.0","npm":"6.14.4"})

I'm guessing the version of Node.js supplied by apt is too ancient. Looking into using nvm to install a newer version alongside the existing one.

[ArtPoon]

• Ran install script for nvm and restarted terminal
• nvm install 18.14.0
• which node and which npm now point to folder within /home/art/.nvm

[ArtPoon]

• npm install ran much more smoothly with newer version.
• package.json has no main defined, I have no idea how to start this app

[ArtPoon]

Got app up and running with cp .env.example .env and yarn dev (thanks @rneher).
I'm going to erase my local copy of the repo and start all over again, and write some installation docs.

Resetting system:

rm -rf flu_frequencies/
sudo npm uninstall --global yarn
sudo apt remove npm
rm -rf .npm
rm -rf .nvm

Maybe v18.14.0 is too new?
