contributing guidelines - npm run init

[luiguild]

In Working Environment Setup[1] I found the instruction

# clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/<username>/webcompat.com.git #replace your github username
# change to directory
cd webcompat.com
# check out submodules
npm run module
# initializing project
[sudo] npm init

npm init? The package.json file already exists... Right?
I guess that the correct step is

npm install

or am I wrong?

😄

Hm, this probably should be npm run init instead of npm init. That comment will set pretty much everything up for you.

Do you want to make a pull request for that? :)

Hum, maybe I was wrong to write, npm run init it's not a good things to overwrite default recipes

[miketaylr]

Maybe we should rename that? npm run bootstrap or npm run setup??

[luiguild]

Personally I prefer npm run setup

[miketaylr]

@luiguild did you ever get the development environment working for you?

[karlcow]

In #982 @miketaylr used npm run init does it fix this issue?

I ran into the same issue while setup.
Either way the rename should be a good step to prevent confusion. :)

@zoepage is handling the rename in #1322, so let's close here!
