Install requires node-gyp, due to a dependancy on argon2

1. Prerequisites

nodegyp - Windows - npm install --global --production windows-build-tools if you have problems, this might help: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/1278

nodegyp - Ubuntu (same for Mac ?) sudo apt-get install build-essentials

yarn - npm install -g yarn

lerna - npm install -g lerna

jest - npm install -g jest

2. Install and Build

lerna bootstrap will install all modules

lerna run build will build all pakcages

yarn run initialise will initialise your budibase (i.e. create local database)

3. Running

lerna run dev:builder - will run up the builder and server together - i.e. when you want to do some work on the builder
