getting started and local development

1. copy server/server_config.example.yaml to server/server_config.yaml and

   for the expected values.

   todo explain the values needed to run locally vs to deploy.

2. make sure you have package:shelf_dev v2
   or later installed.
3. run shelf_dev from the root of the repository to start the app. it will be
   hosted at localhost:8080.
