problems on install

[devvmh]

I ran the commands in the readme, and I got grunt serve to work. I had to add "npm install -g grunt-cli" to the readme and run it myself to get it to work, but it did

Once working, it was a blank box. I used inspector to find that it coudln't find the famous or jquery javascript files. It was looking for js/bower_components/famous/dist/famous.js.

There was bower_components in the top level of my mapmaker directory, but no js or css directories. First I tried making a symlink from mapmaker/js to mapmaker, so that mapmaker/js/bower_components would exist, but that didn't help.

Then I ran

$ cd serve/js && ln -s ../../bower_components bower_components

and that got the JS to work. I'm not sure if we should do something similar for css.

Is this the correct solution? Should I be changing my install process? Or should we be alwasy making these symlinks?

And obviously this may all be Mac OS/X specific

Uncomment line 17-20 of grunt/copy.js.

How can we work this into the repository in general? We could consider adding these commands to the readme:

$ sed -i'' -e '17,20 s/^////' grunt/copy.js #remove comments from lines 17-20 in grunt/copy.js
$ sed -i'' -e '17,20 s/^/^///' grunt/copy.js #comment out lines 17-20 in grunt/copy.js

Or these could be part of a first-time build script or something

whoops it's actually

$ sed -i'' -e '17,20 s/^////' grunt/copy.js #remove comments from lines 17-20 in grunt/copy.js
$ sed -i'' -e '17,20 s/^////' grunt/copy.js #comment out lines 17-20 in grunt/copy.js
