For UI build and development the project requires node.js and npm Note: You need to install stable node.js versions >= 0.8.0.
To install other node versions you need nvm. To check which version you are running:
node --version
To install another version run:
nvm install v0.10.23
You will then need Grunt and Bower to handle client side dependencies.
To globally install Grunt and Bower, run the following from the command line:
npm install -g grunt-cli bower
Install Grunt plugins and other dependencies:
npm install
Install Bower components
bower install
Run grunt build for front-end development and grunt dotnet to get front-end assets and DOTNET razor templates into Visual Studio project.
