2. Dependencies and install - MattAndDev/gulp-boilerplate GitHub Wiki

Dependencies

Node (via nvm)

Install node version manager (nvm) via cURL.

$ curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.29.0/install.sh | bash

Look into the packge.json and install the required node version, you can find it under engines.

engines: {
    "node": "version" 
  }

Gulp

Install Gulp globally:

$ npm install -g gulp

This is not mandatory, but it's a good option to save some disk space.

Setup

• Clone the repo
• Rename it
• Remove original .git folder

$ git clone https://github.com/MattAndDev/gulp-boilerplate.git
$ mv gulp-boilerplate your-project-name
$ rm -rf your-project-name/.git

Now you are ready to jump in your project and install all npm dependencies like so:

$ cd your-project-name
$ npm install

This runs through all dependencies listed in package.json and downloads them to a node_modules folder in your project directory.
