```

## Clean up and use YARN

Now let's clean things up and use YARN or even NPM.

```sh
rm -rf node_modules
rm pnpm-lock.yaml
```

Install with YARN and run project:

```sh
yarn
yarn run dev
```

## Output

```sh
$ yarn run dev
yarn run v1.22.22
$ gazeall -V --npms 'clean format lint dev:build copy:key dev:watch' -w 'src/**/*'
