6. Grab a cup of coffee while you wait for the server to download and install. This will take a little while depending on your internet connection.

Browser debugging

Browser debugging messages use bows.

For debugging messages to show up on browser console, do in console:

localStorage.debug = true

To add debugging messages to any part of the code do:

var log = require('bows')('my_module_name');

log('this is a message to be logged');
