+# Finally build everything, in particular the TypeScript files. We can't just
+# run `yarn run build` because that wouldn't run the postinstall scripts in
+# dependencies (for example the sqlite3 native module would not be built). So
+# instead we run `yarn install`, which is going to install again all the
+# packages (but because it's already done it should be fast), and then run the
+# postinstall scripts, as well as build scripts.
