Common Commands

Reaction Commerce is made up of multiple projects (services) that work together. In most NodeJS Reaction projects, the following commands will work.

Before running commands on your computer, always run nvm use to be sure the correct version of NodeJS is used. You may want to install a shell plugin that does this automatically whenever you cd into a directory that contains a .nvmrc file.
