Taaabs is a single page application using Polymer
and running in a browser.
Taaabs is written in HTML
and JavaScript
.
Taaabs use gulp
as Task-Runner/build tool, npm
and bower
for dependency management.
Theses tools needs Node.js
runtime environment.
node
and npm
should be installed with your distribution package manager (apt-get, yum, pacman…) if possible and if the version packaged for your distribution is the actual stable Node.js version.
At least you need a node
version >= 0.12.7 and npm
version >= 2.14.1.
You can check theses version with node –version
and npm –version
.
If your distribution package manager cannot, no problem, you can download and install node (since v0.12, npm is packaged inside node, so you don't need to install it separatly) Download Node.js.
Assuming now you have node
, npm
properly installed.
We use npm
for installing build tools and build dependencies.
Then, you need to install gulp, as an executable application.
[sudo] npm install -g gulp
will install gulp
for you in /usr/lib/node_modules/
and the executable will be available as a link on /usr/bin
.
Now you can try the command gulp
in your terminal. If you see in the standard output something like “local gulp not found”, you have succefully installed gulp
.
