How to configure Metronic theme to work with Rails

Question

I have purchased & downloaded the v8.0.19 Metronic theme. I am working with the HTML theme. I am using Rails 6 and I would like to understand how I should integrate the theme with Rails framework. Specifically,

1. There is dist/ and src/ folders. Which one should I use within my rails code? and how?
2. Since rails uses webpacker and asset pipeline for front-end assets, how do I configure the Metronic HTML theme to work with rails. Metronic has gulp and webpack build tools. How do I customize it to work with Rails.
