Downloading and Installing Brew - shellscape/Brew GitHub Wiki

Brew is meant to be used with an ASP.NET Webforms website, and can be installed one of three recommended ways.

Most folks will be most comfortable using the Package Manager Dialog. Follow that link for instructions and a walk through of using the Dialog. Select "Online Packages" and use the search textbox to search for Brew.

You can also install Brew directly without going through the searching process by using the Package Manager Console. To install Brew via the Console, run the following command in the Console:

PM > Install-Package Brew

The last recommended method if for people or companies running their own local or network NuGet stores. I use a local store to test all of the packages before I upload them to NuGet. To get the Brew package for your own NuGet store, download it from here.

With whichever method you choose, NuGet handles the installation and setup process. You'll notice a few things have taken place:

  • Brew.dll and Brew.Webforms.dll now appear in your bin directory.
  • References to both assemblies have been added automagically.
  • brew.js and brew.min.js have been added to your Scripts directory (and in some cases, the Scripts directory has been added).
  • The web.config.transform file that comes with Brew has altered your web.config file to included a pages/control reference for Brew controls.
  • NuGet has also grabbed the jQuery and jQuery UI packages, placed scripts for both in the Scripts directory, and jQuery UI has added some goodies in the Content directory. These are both dependencies of Brew.

We'll do something with all of the files in the Content directory in Getting Started with Brew.

Now that you have Brew installed, continue on with the guide by reading Getting Started with Brew.
