In order to build ajaxHooks, you need to have Node.js/npm latest, and git 1.7 or later. (Earlier versions might work OK, but are not tested.)
Windows users have two options:
- Install msysgit (Full installer for official Git) and a binary version of Node.js. Make sure both packages are installed to the same location (by default, this is C:\Program Files\Git).
- Install Cygwin (make sure you install git), then either follow the Node.js build instructions or install the binary version of Node.js.
Mac OS users should install Homebrew, then run brew install git
to install git, and brew install node
to install Node.js.
Linux/BSD users should use their appropriate package managers to install git, and node, or build from source if you swing that way. Easy-peasy.
First, clone a copy of the main ajaxHooks git repo by running:
git clone git://github.com/jaubourg/ajaxHooks.git
Enter the directory and install the Node dependencies:
cd ajaxHooks && npm install
Make sure you have grunt
installed by testing:
grunt -version
Then, to get a complete, minified (w/ Uglify.js), linted (w/ JSHint) version of ajaxHooks, type the following:
grunt
The built version of ajaxHooks will be put in the dist/
subdirectory.
