The project is setup to use NodeJS and WebPack, however if you choose to do a straight forward HTML, CSS, and Vanilla JavaScript project, simply adjust the file paths and names for your .css and .js files in the index.html and make the appropriate adjustments in the main.js file.
If you choose the NodeJS route you simply need to open a terminal in the root folder and run: npm install followed by npm start.
