Installing Aquifer

Requirements

Aquifer has one system requirement: Node.js. We suggest using nvm to install Node.js and npm:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.28.0/install.sh | bash
nvm install stable
nvm use stable
nvm alias default stable

Aquifer is an npm module, and can be installed by running:

npm install -g aquifer

You can install Aquifer directly from the git repository. This is useful if you want to contribute to Aquifer core, or test upcoming versions.

Ensure that node.js is installed.
- We suggest using nvm.
- Be sure that your NODE_PATH environment variable is set correctly.
Clone this repository into any directory.
Within the Aquifer repository directory, run npm link.
Run aquifer in your terminal, and ensure that it returns CLI documentation.
