This scaffold has two global dependencies: Node and Gulp. To install Node, find the installer here:

• Node

To install Gulp 4, run:

npm run gulp4

Finally, to install local project dependencies, run:

npm install

To kick off a dev build, start a local server and open the project in a browser, run:

gulp

This project uses the Gulp taskrunner to run a number of different tasks including file copying, moving, and deletion, validation, testing, image processing, distribution packaging, and open the project in a browser.

The tasks listed here are in the format taskname (dependencies). Each task may be called on the command line with the command gulp taskname. The following tasks will probably be called most often:

If no --version=STRING-OR-NUMBER-HERE arguments are used, a version number from new Date().getTime() is added to the JS and CSS file names. main.build.js would be main.build.1433375041078.js and index.css would be index.1433375041078.css. index.html would have the following comments at the bottom of the file while the CSS and JS files will have this included at the top.
