Assuming you've already done the above steps to run from source, then do:
$ ./scripts/compile.shWARNING: This project uses Google Chrome to display the UI. Running this will download and install Google Chrome if you don't already have it installed. If you are allergic to Google Chrome, please avoid running or ingesting this binary.
WARNING: Normally, GraderJS inflates the app from the virtual filesystem inside the binary every time you run. But because this project has a massive OS image, I only inflate it the first time to save you time. The risk is someone could overwrite your index.html (or other app assets) because it's not refreshed every time.
