If you don't already have node and bower installed, install them first:

• node (node installs npm)
• bower

Clone the rave-start-angular repo and install it:

git clone git@github.com:RaveJS/rave-start-angular.git myApp
cd myApp
bower install

Install, then start the built-in web server.

npm install
npm start

Then point your favorite web browser at https://127.0.0.1:8000/ and open the browser console. See below if port 8000 is unavailable on your machine.

You can, of course, use a different web server. Due to browser security precautions, however, you cannot load projects directly off the file system. To uninstall serv, type npm uninstall --save-dev serv.

This Starter prescribes a very minimal application structure for you. It's almost a clean slate. Start with main.js. This is where you can initialize your routes, directives, services, etc. If you prefer to author your application's modules using AMD format, change the "moduleType" entry in bower.json to [ "amd" ], rather than [ "node" ].

The app/ directory is where you place your application's modules. They will be available under the "app" package, so you can import them via require('app/<module name>');. If you would like a different name for your application package, edit the name property inside the bower.json and package.json files at the root of the project and rename the app/ directory to match.

Install your favorite framework or find some useful Rave Extensions to install. Don't forget to use --save when you bower install --save <extension>!

The included web server, serv is set to port 8000 by default. You can change it to 1337, for instance, with the following steps:

1. Open "package.json".
2. Find the section "scripts".
3. Change the "start" item to use port 1337.
   1. It should look like this: "start": "serv --port 1337".

serv has other options, as well.
