Building

# (WINDOWS ONLY) add required global libraries `typings webpack-dev-server rimraf webpack`
npm install -g typings webpack-dev-server rimraf webpack

# install the repo with npm
npm install

# install typings, which typescript uses to know the types of javascript libraries
# (WINDOWS ONLY) (this command is included in npm install for Linux)
npm run typings-install

# build without running server
npm run build:dev

# or
npm run build:prod

Running with continuous build and update

# development
npm run server

# production
npm run server:prod

These start a local server at http://localhost:3000 using webpack-dev-server which will watch, build (in-memory), and reload for you.

Note: You may not be able to build correctly if you are not building it on your local drive.

The build system

This project is based on the https://github.com/AngularClass/angular2-webpack-starter.
