Project development takes place mostly in the src/ directory. Type the command
gulp while in the project's root directory to start a web server and serve the
contents in the src/ directory. Any modifications within the directory will
refresh any browsers currently viewing the web page.
Building the project from source creates a new build/ directory where the
output files are placed. This directory will be recreated for each new build,
so do not put anything you care about in there. Type the command gulp build
while in the project's root directory to build the project from source.
Note: If the build seems to freeze during the scripts task, do not interrupt
it; it is still performing its operations. This may take a while depending on
the total amount of JavaScript code in your project.

After setting up the environment, you will see a similar directory structure to the one below. If some directories does not exist yet, do not worry; they will be automatically created when necessary (you can still create them yourself if you want).
