 To build GobView (also for development):
 
-1. Run `dune build gobview` in the analyzer directory to build the web UI
-2. The executable for the http-server can then be found in the directory `./_build/default/gobview/goblint-http-server`. It takes the analyzer directory and additional Goblint configurations such as the files to be analyzed as parameters. Run it e.g. with the following command:\
-`./_build/default/gobview/goblint-http-server/goblint_http.exe -with-goblint ../analyzer/goblint -goblint --set files[+] "../analyzer/tests/regression/00-sanity/01-assert.c"`
