npm run webpack - Compile all of the .js files needed for the client side,

npm start - Start the server,
npm run nodemon - Alternatively, start the server in developer mode, restarting after every change made
npm run db:populate - Populate database with random data (check out scripts/db-populate.js)

npm run nodemon - Watch for changes in the server files (bin/www) and restart the server as the files are changed

npm run webpack-watch - Same as 'npm run webpack' but watch for changes to the files and auto compile if there are any changes
npm start - Start the server normally
npm test - Run the tests on the project
npm run lint - Run the lint beautifier on the project files
npm run less - Watch for changes in the /less folder, and compile all of the .less files inside, outputing to /public/stylesheets
