Testing Bob locally inside Interactive Examples

Bob is used to build the interactive-example pages and is installed as a dependency inside the interactive-examples repo. When working on changes to Bob, there is often a need to test the changes by running Bob inside the interactive-examples repo locally. To do this, use the following command:

npx install-local ~/path/to/repo/bob && node node_modules/.bin/mdn-bob
