• Difficulties under Windows, refer to issue #4
• Heroku deployment check issue #5
• Getting { [Error: EMFILE, open %fileName%'] errno: 20, code: 'EMFILE', after running make, make run or make run-dev This is due to a limit on the amount of files that can be open at the same time by your OS. Update your .base_profile file (or similar) by adding ulimit -n 2048.
