Running Aurelia Steem locally is a breeze. All that is required is a computer, some development knowledge of Javascript and/or TypeScript and Node.js

Install Node.js

Because Aurelia Steem is an Aurelia CLI based application and all of its build tooling requires Node.js installed. To install Node.js (if not already) you can download an installer that does the hard work for you here. Even if you already have Node.js installed, it pays to make sure you are running the latest LTS version.

Install Yarn (recommended)

While Node.js ships with its own package manager in the form of Npm, an alternative and drop-in replacement called Yarn exists which boasts increased speed and more developer-friendly. You can obtain an easy installer from the official site here.

Run the project

Open up a Terminal / PowerShell or Command Prompt window and navigate to the project directory. Then run au run to spin up a local web server and application available: http://localhost:8080
