7# the only file that affects "npm install" in the next step, to speed up the build

11# keep the image small. Avoid logging too much and print the dependency

28# By default, Apify's base Docker images define the CMD instruction

30# in the "scripts.start" section of the package.json file.
31# In short, the instruction looks something like this:
