aurelia Aurelia CLI Explained Setting Up Environment for Aurelia-cli Explained

Example

• OS: Mac OS X 10.11 (Should work on Windows / Linux since we are using Vagrant)
  • Vagrant 1.8.4 Installed
• Directory Structure on Host OS (Mac OS):
  • /path/to/project
    • /provision
      • /packages
        • Note: If you use different vesions, be sure to update Variables at top of provision.sh script below.
        • atom.x86_64.rpm (Download: Atom)
        • node-v6.4.0-linux-x64.tar.xz (Download: Node)
    • /vagrant
      • Vagrantfile (File contents below)
      • provision.sh (File contents below)
• Starting up the Virtual Machine ($ == Terminal prompt)
  • In Mac OS Terminal
  • $cd /path/to/project/vagrant
  • $vagrant up
    • Downloads CentOS 7 vagrant box, runs provision script
    • Launches VM window outside of your Mac OS terminal
  • When all done, log into VM using gui
    • User: vagrant
    • PW: vagrant
  • Launch X Windows:
    • $startx (Starts a Gnome UI)
• Setting up the VM
  • Launch a Terminal window (Applications Drop Down Menu / Utilities)
  • Set up sudo to run "npm"
    • Get path to npm: $which npm (/opt/node-v6.4.0-linux-x64/bin)
    • Add to visudo "secure_path"
      • $sudo visudo (Requires basic knowledge of Vi/Vim)
      • Type "i" to go into Insert mode
      • Use arrow keys to navigate to "secure_path" line
      • Append ":/opt/node-v6.4.0-linux-x64/bin" to "secure_path"
      • Type "esc" to exit Insert mode
      • Type ":wq" to write changes and quit Vi
  • Update npm, fixes critical bugs in aurelia cli
    • $npm install npm -g
  • Install aurelia cli globally
    • $npm install aurelia-cli -g
• Starting/Stopping the VM
  • In Mac OS Terminal
  • $cd /path/to/project/vagrant (If you're not already in the directory with the Vagrantfile)
  • $vagrant halt (Keeps all files, closes GUI, shuts down VM)
  • $vagrant up (Restart VM, login via GUI when it's ready)
  • $vagrant destroy (Will need to download everything again, your local files will be deleted. Use this to start from scratch.)

Now you're ready to start building your website using Aurelia CLI!
