$ git clone git@github.com:feedhenry/fh-studio.git

//TODO: At present, the DustJS module needs to have this line removed to work with node 0.6:
lib/server.js:6 require.paths.unshift(path.join(__dirname, '..'));
- After making changes to any templates, run 'jake ct' to compile the templates.
- modules which extend commandline, for example fhc, run, jake should be installed globally (use -g option with npm). Example : npm install fhc -g
- consider using run.js : you won't have to restart server after changing the code.
