Moodle how to edit javascript files?

I'm working with moodle open source code. It is running on my machine with Ubuntu 16.04 and apache2 as explained on their installation guide. My problem occurs when i change a javascript file, the code changed does not appear updated on the browser (chrome dev tools). Even if i delete the file, browser continue to show me the file code in the source tree (after refresh, and clearing the broser cache). Am I missing a step, on this edition of javascript files in Moodle structure?

Thanks in advance!

Javascript is cached - you need to purge all site caches to see changes. If debugging is off and you are using an AMD module (as all modern Moodle javascript does) or a YUI module (as used by older Moodle code), then you will need to use grunt to to minify the javascript before it can be used.
