In this chapter, you will learn how to set up and use Aurelia-tools.
Step 1 – Root Folder
Let’s create a root folder where we will keep all Aurelia apps.
C:\Users\username\Desktop>mkdir aurelia-projects
Step 2 – Aurelia Tools
Inside aurelia-projects folder, we will clone aurelia-tools repository from github.
C:\Users\username\Desktop\aurelia-projects>git clone https://github.com/aurelia/tools.git
Step 3 – Create a New Project
To start a new Aurelia project, the recommended way is to use one of the aurelia-skeletons. Let’s clone Aurelia skeletons from git.
C:\Users\username\Desktop\aurelia-projects>git clone https://github.com/aurelia/skeleton-navigation.git
We also need to install packages, modules, and dependencies. You can choose between various skeleton apps. We will use skeleton-es2016.
C:\Users\username\Desktop\aurelia-projects\skeleton-navigation\skeleton-es2016>npm install C:\Users\username\Desktop\aurelia-projects\skeleton-navigation\skeleton-es2016>jspm install
Finally, we need to run the following code to build the development environment.
C:\Users\username\Desktop\aurelia-projects\skeleton-navigation\skeleton-es2016>gulp build-dev-env
Step 4 – Update
Update local repositories using the following command.
C:\Users\username\Desktop\aurelia-projects\skeleton-navigation\skeleton-es2016>gulp update-own-deps
Step 5 – Pull
We can also pull Aurelia dependency without building.
C:\Users\username\Desktop\aurelia-projects\skeleton-navigation\skeleton-es2016>gulp pull-dev-env
