Some components in PrestaShop, like Javascript or SCSS files, need to be compiled to be usable.
We use Webpack to compile assets. You only need NodeJS 8.x (get it here), NPM will take care of it all.

| Subproject | Path |

| FO Core | cd themes/ |
| Classic theme | cd themes/classic/_dev/ |
Run npm install (first time only)
npm install
Run webpack
npm run build
You can rebuild all the assets at once by executing this command from the project root:
./tools/assets/build.sh
# or alternatively, since 1.7.8:
make assets
You can also make webpack listen for changes and compile only what’s needed as you work on your files:
npm run watch
Rebuild your changes before committing.
The “watch” build will optimize your assets for development. Please remember to rebuild for production when you are done using npm run build.
If npm install fails with error: Failed at the ... postinstall script.:
You may be using node version 9 or 10, you should use node version 8.
