Thanks @fflorent, this will be helpful! Could do with linking to it from the README, you have more precise information about building than it does.

TODO would be something like https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-core/issues/new?

Probably.

Maybe to go further, an issue template could help ^^.

+To setup your environment, you would need to install the following dependencies:
+ - git
+ - [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/blob/master/README.md)


I use nvm personally but not sure if I'd put it as a requirement; could be a recommendation. The requirement is some version of node. The exact version to recommend is a bit fluid, I think I'd say 16 (though I think our tests and docker image may still use an older version), last I heard there was some awkwardness running browser tests with node 18 on osx m1 (cc @georgegevoian).

I think 18 may work as long as it's not the arm64 version. The wrinkle with tests was that the version of chromedriver we currently use is stale (74) and doesn't support arm64, but I think when I tested a while back with newer versions most tests still passed, and the few that didn't were due to breaking changes in Selenium.

+To setup your environment, you would need to install the following dependencies:
+ - git
+ - [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/blob/master/README.md)
+ - Firefox and/or Chromium to run the end-to-end (nbrowsers) tests


Do you know if the tests can actually run with firefox? We used to test with both, but then slipped to just using one (chrome).

I think so, I'll test that.

And maybe just say "browser tests" instead of "(nbrowsers) tests".

Don't nbrowser tests cover not only the browser but also the back-end? I would keep the term end-to-end tests, unless all of them don't require to run a server.

Ok, end-to-end is fine. I was hoping to replace/eliminate nbrowsers since it was a bit jargony (user won't know anything about the idiosyncratically named nbrowser tests yet) and also the s is maybe a bit confusing (the test target it is referring to is nbrowser). How about just dropping (nbrowsers)?

Ah, I see it is already fixed 👍

Ok, end-to-end is fine

If you're uncomfortable with naming them end-to-end, don't hesitate to tell me. I am not very confident on how to name them ^^

+
+Now each time you want to load nodejs and yarn in your environment, just run the following command at grist-core root directory:


"at grist-core" -> "in the grist-core"

If this is about custom widgets, it could point to https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-widget#readme or https://support.getgrist.com/widget-custom/ (though I do see looking at this now that neither is ideal).

Thanks for your review @paulfitz, I changed some stuffs in accordance to your remarks.

thanks for iterating, just a few small comments

+#### Using nodejs
+
+You can also use nodejs installed in your system. To prevent instabilities, ensure that the `node --version` command a version equal or ulterior to the one in `.nvmrc`.


instabilities -> incompatibilities?
"command a version" -> "command reports a version"
I'd say "greater" rather than "ulterior"

I'd still vote against ulterior. Maybe "an equal or later/greater version"?

Oopsi! I fix that, sorry for having missed that one.

Almost there! Thanks for doing this (and for your patience).
