This is the command-line interface for Alloy projects. It downloads and installs blank templates for basic, craft and expression engine projects, as well as having functions like watch and build for development purposes.
You'll need the following software installed to get started.
Node.js 0.12+: Use the installer provided on the NodeJS website.
With Node installed run sudo npm install -g gulp bower.
Git: Use the installer for your OS.
Windows users can also try Git for Windows.
Download or clone the repo, extract it. Inside the main folder run the command npm install -g
After this you should be able to use the Alloy CLI commands.
The CLI has three main commands:
alloy new- For creating a new project from scratch.
alloy watch- This command will start the development environment by creating a local server and watching changes in any file inside the dev folder.
alloy build- This command will prepare, compile and compress all the files inside the dev folder and put them inside the cms folder (including raw dev files).
alloy helpgives you a list of all the command and what they do.
