VersionEye:

Tested in Node.js v4.4.* In Windows, Gulp CLI is needed

First Time

Follow these instructions to view the web site for the first time from your computer. If you have already forked this repository, you can skip to step #4. If you have already used Node.js before, then you can skip to step #5.

1. Find your Command Line Interface (CLI): You can read this page to learn how to start your CLI console. You will need this to run the commands for the following steps.

2. Install Git: Once you have the CLI console open, check if you have Git installed by running git --version. If anything but the version of Git appeared, then you will need to install it. Once the process is over, you can again check if you have Git running by entering git --version in the CLI console. If you are new to Git, you can read this guide or you can follow this fifteen minute tutorial.

3. Fork this Repository: First, click on the Fork button at the top of this repository, then you can follow this guide to learn how to clone the repository from GitHub. In the CLI console, move the current working directory to where you want to clone this repository to. You can check the command required to do this in the guide about setting up the console from before.

4. Install Node.js and NPM: First, check if you have Node.js installed by running node -v in the CLI console. If anything but the version of Node appeared, then you can follow these instructions to install Node v4.4.*. Once the process is over, you can again check if you have Node running by entering node -v in the CLI console. Those same instructions show that Node comes with the Node Package Manager (NPM). We will be using this to manage the application packages.

5. Install the NPM Packages: In the CLI console, move to inside the repository you cloned earlier (either creativo-pty-website or another name you chose) and run npm install. This will create a local environment to download the Node modules needed to build the web site. If running Windows, also install Gulp CLI with the command: npm i -g gulp-cli

6. Run a Local Server to see the Site: In the CLI console, run gulp. This command will grab all of the source files in the app folder, convert them into the web site, and store the resulting files in the dist folder. In a moment, your browser should open with the web site in view. If you change any file in the app folder, the application will automatically update the corresponding file in the dist folder and update your view of the web site in the browser.
