How to use

You must have NODE.JS installed to run the client build. Open a command prompt from the root folder of the project and execute the following scripts in order:

- npm install
- jspm install
- dnvm install 1.0.0-rc1-update1
- dnvm use default -p
- gulp
- npm start

All client source files should be edited in the \App folder. Do not edit anything in the \wwwroot\app folder as this folder is cleaned and replaced with every build. The static files in \wwwroot (index.html, boot.js) may be edited. To watch for source file changes, run the following script:

- gulp watch
