Install or update dependencies via Composer (https://getcomposer.org/):

composer --working-dir=plugins/paymethod/paypal update
composer --working-dir=plugins/generic/citationStyleLanguage update
Install or update dependencies via NPM:

If your PHP version supports built-in development server :
php -S localhost:8000
See the Documentation Hub for a more complete development guide.
Running Tests
We recommend using Travis for continuous-integration
based testing. Review the Travis configuration file (.travis.yml) as a
reference for running the test locally, should you choose to do so.
The tests include an integration test suite that builds a data environment from
scratch, including the installation process. (This is the -b flag to the test
script lib/pkp/tools/runAllTests.sh; this is also executed in the Travis
environment.)
