When developing across all the projects in this repository, first install git, Node.js and npm.
Then, perform the following steps to get set up for development:
git clone --depth=1 [email protected]:google/model-viewer.git
cd model-viewer
npm install
npm run bootstrapNote: depth=1 keeps you from downloading our ~3Gb of history, which is dominated by all the versions of our golden render fidelity images.
The following global commands are available:

npm run bootstrap | 
Bootstraps the project for development and cross-links sub-projects | 
npm run build |
