 While it is possible to run this script directly, it is recommended that you add scripts to your `package.json` file in order to make using this tool easier and faster. The app structure isn't likely to change in any given project often, so this will help in making the usage more consistent.

 Given the scripts created in step #2 above, run them as follows ― being sure to provide a component name after the script name.
