### Local development

[](#local-development)

Some old tech, but it works, so no upgrading till something breaks.

- Install [Bower](https://bower.io/) and [Grunt](https://gruntjs.com/): `npm install -g bower grunt`
- Install jQuery dependency with Bower: `bower install`
- Start local server: `grunt`
- Navigate to `localhost:8000/examples`
- Update `examples/index.html` to load jQuery and `src/js/lightbox.js`.
