The frontend project uses a couple of tools. The installation of these tools is managed by a package manager called "npm" (nodejs packet manager). Running npm install in the serpent folder will ask npm to install the dependencies found in the package.json file. (Check README for installing nodejs, which also installs npm)

After installing the dependencies, a new folder called node_modules will appear. This folder should not be committed to the repository, and should be regarded as a generated file (e.g don't edit stuff in it).

Installing the dependencies is not enough to actually build the frontend, but is required for the build script to work. More notes about building the frontend can be found here, but a simple make will do just fine.

A more detailed version can be found in the documentation over at read-the-docs!
