Tools assume `lerna` is installed globally

See original GitHub issue

Developers who don’t have lerna installed globally (i.e., via npm install --global lerna) are going to encounter errors with the build scripts:

exec: lerna: not found

One should be able to wrap most lerna invocations in scripts such as buildup and builddown with npx in order to resolve at least that issue, but overall, the directions in CONTRIBUTING should be reviewed to ensure the steps all work without any globally-installed npm packages.

I guess the larger issue is around being able to use the versions of lerna and other tools from the npm dependencies as specified in the project package.json. It would be safe to use npx lerna and safer to replace occurrences of export PATH=node_modules/.bin:$PATH with export PATH=$(npm bin):$PATH (or add where not present) and then use the lerna (and others) as is since these binaries would be available in the path.

Am not sure this fixes the problem. Running the ./install.sh script no longer depends on having lerna installed globally but when running ../../../scripts/buildup in the package dir it complains that lerna: not found.

Taking a look at the node_modules/.bin dir at the project root level I see the lerna symlink exists whereas in the package dir the subfolder node_modules/.bin does not contain the lerna symlink.

Fix 1338 only adds the node_modules/.bin to PATH but if lerna is not installed then it will still not work. Perhaps the buildup script needs to also add ../../../node_modules/.bin to the PATH as it is the only place where lerna is installed
