the most important thing to take caution of is that you cant rebuild with the existing submodules  
we first remove the existing sub modules

> ```auto
> git submodule deinit -f .
> rm -rf .git/modules/
> 
> ```

then update the submodules following the new changes

`git submodule update --init --recursive`

then follow the rest of the procedure in the [readme](https://github.com/I-TECH-UW/OpenELIS-Global-2?tab=readme-ov-file#running-openelis-global2-using-docker-compose-with-locally-compiledbuilt-artifacts-ie-the-war-file-and-react-code)
