Before starting:

1. Make sure you have Node.js version 4.0.0 or higher installed.

   • Check your Node version in your terminal/console:

   node -v
   

2. Make sure you have npm version 3.0.0 or higher installed:

   • Check your npm version in your terminal/console:

   npm -v
   

   You can download Node and npm, and it's also helpful to have nvm for node version management.

   More specific details are available at the Angular 2 official docs or its corresponding GitHub README documentation.

Create Angular 2 Starter Application (Three Steps)

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/dankreiger/angular2-starter-shell-script.git

2. Change into the project directory:

   cd angular2_starter_shell_script

3. Run the script:

   ./src/auto_setup.sh

4. Give your starter app a name:

5. Your default browser should open momentarily displaying your new Angular 2 starter app.

Expectations

• The last command npm start will run two parallel node processes (as stated in the Angular 2 docs):

  1. The TypeScript compiler in watch mode
  2. A static server called lite-server that loads index.html in a browser and refreshes the browser when application files change

• Your default browser should open and display your new Angular 2 starter application.
