Installation instructions in README.md incomplete
Bug Description:
The installation instructions lack a description of all the TypeScript and JavaScript dependencies that have to be installed. On a clean machine, the build fails, and commonly available information on the WWW only gets one so far in resolving these dependencesi.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Install nvm v0.40.3.
- Install npm packages: npm install -g typescript npm install -g concurrently npm install -g lerna npm install -g theia
- Install yarn packages: yarn global add mocha yarn global add playwright
However, even after these steps, the build fails because "Playwright" cannot be found. Below is the first line from the build log:
playwright-tests/tests/page-objects/theia-trace-viewer-app.ts(30,42): error TS2307: Cannot find module '@theia/playwright' or its corresponding type declarations.
