๐ฏ Simple Instructions: Make Your Package Ready for npm Install
What You Need to Do (3 Easy Steps!)
Step 1: Double-Click MAKE_PACKAGE_READY.bat
This will:

Just double-click and wait! It takes about 30 seconds.
Step 2: Double-Click TEST_PACKAGE.bat
This will:

Just double-click and watch! It takes about 1 minute.
Step 3: Tell People How to Install
If both tests pass, share this with people:
npm install git+https://github.com/issdandavis/scbe-aethermoore-demo.git
