Description

What happened?

Please update README.md instructions.

Following your instructions:

$ git clone blah
$ cd dex-ui
$ npm i
$ npm run serve

issues the following error.

npm error Missing script: "serve"
npm error
npm error To see a list of scripts, run:
npm error   npm run
npm error A complete log of this run can be found in: /Users/geophf/.npm/_logs/2026-02-04T19_54_45_754Z-debug-0.log

How can we reproduce it?

After following your instructions on README.md exactly, that is:

$ git clone blah
$ cd dex-ui
$ npm i
$ npm run serve

I attempted

$ npm run build

after

$ npm run

and still got the same error.

Are you missing npm run build in your instructions? Are you missing a directive to cd to a directory where serve resides?

Which device did this issue occur on?

Desktop

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Chrome

Anything else you want us to know?

It doesn't matter what browser this error occurs on if the app-server never starts, right? The "What browsers...?"-question should be optional, or should include the option "never got to the browser: server did not start."
