##Before Starting

1. Install Node.js.
2. In the root folder ("5671-BostonMassacre") type npm install -g and run it.

On Windows your command line will look like: C:/Users/Name/path/to/file/5671-BostonMassacre> npm install -g

On OSX your command line will look like: User:5671-BostonMassacre user$ npm install -g

If you get an Error,

i. Make sure Node has installed correctly by typing node -v. You should see what version of Node you've installed. (ex. v.0.10.35)

ii. Make sure NPM has installed correctly by typing npm -v. You should see what version of NPM you've installed. (ex. v.0.10.35)

iii. If none of these work, reinstall Node.js.

iv. If you've reinstalled Node.js and the problem persists, make sure you've typed npm install -g correctly.

##Building Templates To keep load time down we are proprocessing our .handlebars templates. Into a single file called "templates.js"

NOTE: Skip this step if you haven't updated/built any new handlebars templates.

NOTE: If you have built new handlebars templates, run the step below before building the application.

1. In Terminal (OSX/Linux) or Command Prompt (Windows) run handlebars app/templates/ -f app/js/templates.js

##Building the Application

1. After cloning this repository open up Terminal (OSX/Linux) or Command Prompt (Windows).

2. In the root folder ("5671-BostonMassacre") type gulp and run it.

   If you get an Error,

i. Type npm install --global gulp-cli and run it.

ii. Then run gulp again.

Known Errors

If you see node-sass anywhere in the error code type npm rebuild node-sass and run it.

3. You should see [hour:minute:seconds] Using gulpfile ~pathTofile/5671-BostonMassacre/gulpfile.js and a list of Starting and Finishing lines.

If you get an Error,

i. Check if you spelt gulp correctly.

ii. Try to run it again.

4. Once the function is done running it will open your default browser and load the application.

NOTE: Any saved changes made to code while [BS] Serving files from: app or [BS] Reloading >Browsers... is running in the terminal will automatically reload the browser with the changes applied.

##How to Distribute

1. When you're done hit 'Ctrl-C' to stop terminal functions if BrowserSync is still running.
