Clarification of Readme for Newbies

[dbowser]

I am just moving from Silverlight & WPF to the HTML5 / JavaScript world and trying to learn Aurelia as my first framework in this environment.

The readme says "Integration of npm and jspm with the Visual Studio is provided but is disabled by default due to resource usage." How am I as a newbie to know what to do with this statement?

What are the resource issues? How serious are they? What are the implications of this being disabled? What is the work around?

Then, how do we run this? If I do 'gulp watch' as suggested in the README.md file and browse to http://localhost:9000 in Chrome, I just get a 'Cannot GET /'. Note that the README.md file doesn't say where to execute that or any of the commands from. I tried it from 'skeleton-navigation\skeleton-es2016-asp.net5\src\skeleton-navigation-es2016-vs'. If I instead try to run from VS, I just get the 'Aurelia Navigation Skeleton' in the browser.

Please remember that some of us are total newbies to this environment :)
