Dockerless installation hints

[Sjors]

I couldn't figure out how to build the plugin on my server (Ubuntu 22.04).

I can install it via the Wordpress directory and then edit the files (e.g. for #4), but that's not ideal.

Since I don't run Docker on my server, any hints would be useful. I assume there's some incantation to pull in the dependencies, but npm install and grunt didn't do the trick.

Hey @Sjors sorry for the late reply, for some reason I did not see the notifications about the issues on that day 😅 (and I never scanned the issues since then it seems)

In PHP land the equivalent package manager npm is composer. So instead of npm install you do composer install (in the plugin directory) to fetch the dependencies. On the build that gets uploaded to WP directory we solve that with this GH action which does exactly that before making the .zip archive.
