 ## Running the bot
-1. `npm ci`
-2. Make a copy of `bot.env.example` called `bot.env`, fill in the values
-3. Run the desired start script:  
-\- `npm run start-bot-dev` to run the bot with `ts-node`  
-\- `npm run build` followed by `npm run start-bot-prod` to run the bot compiled  
-\- `npm run watch-bot` to run the bot with `ts-node` and restart on changes
-4. When testing, make sure you have your test server in the `allowed_guilds` table or the guild's config won't be loaded at all

 ## Running the dashboard
-1. Navigate to `dashboard/`
+1. `cd dashboard`
 2. `npm ci`
 3. Make a copy of `.env.example` called `.env`, fill in the values
 4. Run the desired start script:
-\- `npm run build` compiled the dashboard's static files in `dist/` which can then be served with any web server  
-\- `npm run watch` runs Parcel.js's dev server that automatically reloads on changes

+## Notes
+* Since we now use shared paths in `tsconfig.json`, the compiled files in `backend/dist/` have longer paths, e.g.
+  `backend/dist/backend/src/index.js` instead of `backend/dist/index.js`. This is because the compiled shared files
+  are placed in `backend/dist/shared`.
+* The `backend/register-tsconfig-prod-paths.js` module takes care of registering shared paths from `tsconfig.json` for
+  `ts-node`, `ava`, and compiled `.js` files
+* To run the tests for the files in the `shared/` directory, you also need to run `npm ci` there
