# install dependencies on ubuntu
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa --yes

Point your browser to: http://localhost:9777 for example app http://localhost:3001 to configure browsersync

Server is restarted, whenever server code changes. Browser refreses, whenever client code changes.

First steps (optional)

change name, version, description & author in package.json -> this will be used in server/services/config/serverConfig.coffee
change serverName, ports,... in server/services/config/serverConfig.coffee to match your enviroment
start with a fresh git repo

rm -rf .git
git init
git add .
git commit -am "initial commit"
# add your own remote origin
git remote set-url origin ssh://git@YourSourcecodeServer/projectName/appName.git
git push origin

Which files go where

client/dist/index.html -> basic app skelteon with meta tags
client/src/views -> views
client/lib -> libs used in multiple places
server/ -> server code
