Linking the built package to Foundry VTT

In order to provide a fluent development experience, it is recommended to link the built package to your local Foundry VTT installation's data folder. In order to do so, first add a file called foundryconfig.json to the project root with the following content:

{
  "dataPath": "<path to your home directory>/.local/share/FoundryVTT"
}

On platforms other than Linux you need to adjust the path accordingly.

Then run
