Your first Polymer element

The codelab is designed to be used with Chrome Dev Editor. See the next section if you'd like to use another editor for the codelab.

Running the codelab without Chrome Dev Editor

If you're not using CDE, you'll need to install some command-line tools to manage dependencies and to run the demo.

Download and install Node from https://nodejs.org/. Node includes the node package manager command, npm.
Install bower and polyserve:
```
npm install -g bower polyserve
```

Clone this repo:

https://github.com/googlecodelabs/polymer-first-elements.git

Change directory to your local repo and install dependencies with bower:
```
cd polymer-first-elements
bower install
```
To preview your element, run polyserve from the repo directory:
```
polyserve
```
Open localhost:8080/components/icon-toggle/demo/ in your browser. (Note that the path uses icon-toggle—the component name listed in this element's bower.json file—rather than the actual directory name.)

If you're wondering what polyserve does, see Testing elements with local bower dependencies in the Polymer docs.
