NPM Clean House Procedure

It is not uncommon to run into issues when trying to use npm install or npm start. The following is the "clean house" procedure used to wipe out these errors.

• Uninstall node from your machine using your computer's application uninstaller
• Reinstall the newest LTS version of Node, specified in Library Requirements
• Delete node_modules folder from your local version of GRNsight (if present)
• Delete package-lock.json
• Run npm install and npm run start-dev

If you still see unexpected problems when running your local version of GRNsight, try the following:

• Go to the operating system task list [e.g., Windows Task Manager; macOS Activity Monitor; etc.]
• Look for and terminate the node process

This is a reasonable fix for when the local version of GRNsight has an unexpected appearance or fails to load. Other potential solutions are trying to load the local version in a new window or restarting your machine and trying again.
