Open a terminal window and run the command:
npm run start
This will set up a development server with hot reloading enabled. I used the templating engine to conditionally check the environment and include the correct scripts.

Open a terminal window and run:
./env/bin/pserve development.ini --reload
This will start the python server and watch for any changes
Build the Frontend

npm run build
This will create a new folder called dist/ with our bundle included.

Run the following command:
./env/bin/pserve production.ini
This start the server and serves static assets from the dist/ directory
