Provide installation instructions

[albx79]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I am trying to figure out how morphir works, and I stumbled upon morphir-dapr. I see no installation instructions, so I'm left on my own devices. Noticing a package.json, I assume it's using node and try some npm commands.

$ npm run build
...
> del dist

sh: 1: del: not found

...tweak package.json, replace del with rm -rf, and try again:

$ npm run build

...more stuff this time...

sh: 1: ncc: not found

I've never heard of ncc, google doesn't help; I give up.

Describe the solution you'd like

Most open source projects include building instructions in their README, as well as system requirements.

Describe alternatives you've considered

For now I'll try and compile the examples without using morphir-dapr.

Additional context

I'm using a recent Ubuntu Linux.

Hi @albx79. Glad to see you checking in. Morphir is spread across a number of repos. You'll find most of the documentation at https://morphir.finos.org and https://github.com/finos/morphir-elm. The morphir-service project is on hold for now after an initial pre-alpha effort. We can discuss revitalizing it if there's interest. As you can see, that would take some work.

Thanks for the quick reply. At the moment I'm unable to commit time to this, I was just trying it out. If the project is on hold and in pre-alpha, then it's a bit premature to ask for installation instructions.

But maybe it would be useful to write this much on the readme, along with the two links you gave me above, so that a lost traveler like myself can get back on path.
