 ## Local development
+
 Install Postgres and running first.
 
 (MacOS, Optional), you can use Homebrew:
+
 ```
-$ brew install postgres
-$ brew services start postgresql
+brew install postgres
+brew services start postgresql
 ```
+
 Linux:
 
 Install postgres.  Known working version is version 13
 
-```
+```bash
 https://www.postgresql.org/download/
 ```
 
-
 Once postgres is installed and running, install the required gems and then migrate the database.
+
+```bash
+bundle install
+bundle exec rake db:create db:migrate db:seed
 ```
-$ bundle install
-$ bundle exec rake db:create db:migrate db:seed
+
+Install the javascript dependencies
+```bash
+yarn install
 ```
+
+
 At this point you can run the app and login.  There won't be any data yet though; keep reading!

 ## Loading Data
 
 SurveyItemResponses is the most important table to understand. SurveyItemResponses is the data that will change year to year and makes up the majority of the database records.  Roughly 500,000 SurveyItemResponses per year.
 
 Some notes:
+
 - The data loading task assumes that the CSV files live in the `#{RAILS_ROOT}/data/survey_responses` directory
 - The data loading task is idempotent, i.e. it can be run multiple times without duplicating previously-ingested data
