 **run** | Preview the deploy index.html file in a web browser by running a NodeJS server
 **version** | Control the project versioning, and update the version number in **project.json** and **bower.json**. This task requires a single argument, for instance, **version:1.0.0** (uses the [Semantic Version](http://semver.org/) format) or increment the version using **version:major**, **version:minor** or **version:patch**. Change the version _before_ doing a build.
