-Set `NODE_ENV=prod` and use the `prod` script for a production build, which enables uglifying JS and AOT compilation. You can also specify `PORT=<whatever>` to change the HTTP port. If you want to run Helium on the default HTTP port (80), you'll have to run it as root. Port 3000 is used by default.
+Run the website on [localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000):
 
 ```sh
-$ PORT=3001 NODE_ENV=prod yarn prod
+$ yarn prod
 ```
 
+Once the website is built, you can re-run it with
+
+```sh
+$ node dist

+Change the port like this:
