Can we have a install/how to run guide?

Hi,
I am looking for a "self-hosted" kindle clips service. When I see Clips' animation, I think it almost fits all my needs.
I cloned your repo. However, I'm not a javascript developer.
After some googling, I know that I need first to install a js package manager npm/yarn.
However, after that, both npm install and yarn install run with errors.
Could you please add a "how to start" section (or something like that) in your readme.md?
Thank you.
Hey @sk1418 ,
Looks like the issue you were facing was due to the node-sass library. The version that was used doesn't seem to work with the latest versions of node. I have replaced it with sass which doesn't face the same issue.
I have updated the README with instructions to install and run the app locally, also I have containerized the app with docker to make it easier to self host.
Thanks for creating this issue. I wasn't aware people were using this app so I hadn't updated the README with instructions. I hope this helps.
Hey @D3vd ,
thanks for the quick response!
The gif animation looks amazing, and I definitely want to give it a try.
After a new pull and following your instruction, yarn doesn't complain anymore, though there were some warnings.
However, when I started the app by yarn start or npm start it logs some error messages, I paste below. (I've already installed dependencies by yarn or npm install)
Probably, it's just silly problems for js beginners. Please shed some light. Thank you.
Failed to compile.

BTW, when I start with docker, the app is working
Hmmm. Can you try deleting your node_modules folder and then running yarn?
This could happen if you have run npm install and yarn on the same project...
