Build documentation: "npm run dev" does not start the app

[daladim]

Describe the bug I'm new to node/npm, but I'd like to contribute to Lens. I tried building following the (very scarce) documentation here. npm run dev seems to successfully complete, but Lens is not started (unlike the documentation says).

Could you help me to have Lens started? Also, so that I reach a working npm run dev, I also had to npm install first and remove the node_modules/ folder tracked in git. Was that a bug, a missing doc, or an unfortunate initiative from my side?

$ git clone https://github.com/lensapp/lens
$ cd lens
$ rm -r node_modules/
$ npm install
...
$ npm run dev
...

Running npm run shows me a list of tasks.

It seems npm run start-dev what was I was looking for. However, does that mean the documentation could be improved? (but I'd rather not do this myself as I'm not seasoned enough at npm/lerna (yet?) 😄 )
