PatternFly Blog Wordpress theme based on WP-Bootstrap

Development

Development setup requires nodejs. If you do not already have nodejs and npm installed on your system, please see https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installing-Node.js-via-package-manager for how to install on your distribution.

Install Bower Components

After ensuring nodejs and npm are available, install Bower globally:

npm install -g bower

Now that Bower is available, we can install the required development components:

bower install

At this point, you should now have a top level components/ folder with all dependencies listed in the bower.json file installed.

Install Development Dependencies

The development includes the use of a number of helpful tasks. In order to setup your development environment to allow running of these tasks, you need to install the local nodejs packages declared in package.json. To do this run:

npm install

This will install all necessary development packages into node_modules/. At this point, the gruntjs tasks are available for use such as starting a local development server or building the master CSS file.

Build

CSS

In development, styling is written and managed through multiple lesscss files. In order to generate a CSS file of all styling, run the build Gruntjs task:

grunt build

This task will compile and minify the lesscss files into CSS files located at library/css/*.min.css.
