Dev mode instructions didn't work on Linux

[scottyeager]

Thanks for the app :)

I tried to use these lines to start in dev mode on my Linux machine:

pastemax/README.md

Lines 123 to 131 in 1949259

	To run the application in development mode:
	```
	# Start the Vite dev server
	npm run dev
	# In a separate terminal, start Electron
	npm run dev:electron
	```

But I got this output on the second command:

$ npm run dev:electron

> pastemax@v1.1.0-stable dev:electron
> node electron/dev.js

Node.js v23.11.1

I was able to resolve this with:

npm install electron@34.5.2

But it still doesn't want to use the existing dev server:

$ npm run dev:electron

> pastemax@v1.1.0-stable dev:electron
> node electron/dev.js

I have to kill the manually spawned dev server to free port 5173 (or otherwise adjust the code to accommodate the port change).

@scottyeager It's probably just a version mismatch. To clean and properly reinstall the npm packages, do:

npm clean:all

npm install
