3. Install server dependencies by using npm install (will install the packages in package.json)
4. Install bower package manager globally by using sudo npm install -g bower (it may prompt you to re-enter your password)
5. Install client dependencies by using bower install (will install the packages in bower.json)
6. Install gulp build system by using sudo npm install -g gulp

Configuration

1. Open app/scripts/config.dev.js and modify apiHost to point to your personnel-api instance

Running Locally

You can now browse to the app/ directory in the browser to view the development version of the app, which will load more slowly since it loads every file separately. To build the app into a single, production file, use gulp and browse to the app/build/ directory in the browser.

Source Control

To push changes back to the repository, navigate to the root directory of the app and use git add . to find all changes in the directory, then git commit -m "Summary of the changes" to group the changes into one commit, then git push origin master to push the changes to the GitHub repository.

Production Deployment

After committing changes to the repository, pull them into the production environment via git pull origin master, then build the app via gulp.
