Emulate "profiles" in Node by selecting a profile from a group of valid package.json files and writing it to a new ./package.json file.
Profiles are individual valid package.json files located in ./packages/ and named <profile>.package.json.
Select the remote profile from the available profiles "remote" (./packages/remote.package.json) and "local" (./packages/local.package.json):
$ ./select-profile remote
$ npm start
