Quick Start

NOTE: If you want to CLONE this EXISTING repository, see cloning.md instead. Otherwise, if you want to build a NEW mean-seed from scratch using the Yeoman Generator, follow these steps below.

  1. machine (global / program) installs (if you don't have them already)
    1. install git, nodejs, mongodb, phantomjs
    2. sudo npm install -g grunt-cli yo bower generator-mean-seed yuidocjs forever less
  2. yo mean-seed (from the NEW directory you want to create the app in)
    1. npm install && bower install (if not already run successfully by Yeoman or any time package.json or bower.json change)
      1. If any bower issues (sometimes 1 or more packages will timeout), just re-run bower update && bower install
      2. If any npm issues, run npm cache clean (and optionally delete the troublesome package folders from the node_modules folder) then re-run npm install
    2. ./node_modules/protractor/bin/webdriver-manager update (if not already run successfully by Yeoman)
    3. grunt q to build assets (if not already run successfully by Yeoman and any time a *.less (or *.scss) or *.html file changes)
  3. start server and view app
    1. node run.js to start node server (make sure MongoDB is already running first)
    2. open a browser to http://localhost:3000/ (or https://localhost:3000/ if using https) to view the site/app
  4. run tests
    1. grunt
  5. (optional) Git remote (should have already been init'ed and commit'ed automatically)
    1. (optional) add a remote: git remote add origin [url to repository]

Updating

You CAN and SHOULD keep your project up to date with the core (seed) generator you used as it goes through version upgrades. Just re-run:

Ensure the generator is up to date:

npm install -g generator-mean-seed

Pull in updates to your project (core/seed - make sure to select the same core you used originally):

yo mean-seed
