This is an example for the aurelia-cycle plugin for the Aurelia platform.

To run the app, follow these steps.

1. Ensure that NodeJS is installed. This provides the platform on which the build tooling runs.
2. From the project folder, execute the following command:

npm install

3. Ensure that Gulp is installed globally. If you need to install it, use the following command:

npm install -g gulp

Note: Gulp must be installed globally, but a local version will also be installed to ensure a compatible version is used for the project.

4. Ensure that jspm is installed globally. If you need to install it, use the following command:

npm install -g jspm

Note: jspm must be installed globally, but a local version will also be installed to ensure a compatible version is used for the project.

Note: Sometimes jspm queries GitHub to install packages, but GitHub has a rate limit on anonymous API requests. If you receive a rate limit error, you need to configure jspm with your GitHub credentials. You can do this by executing jspm registry config github and following the prompts. If you choose to authorize jspm by an access token instead of giving your password (see GitHub Settings > Personal Access Tokens), public_repo access for the token is required.

5. Install the client-side dependencies with jspm:

jspm install -y

Note: Windows users, if you experience an error of "unknown command unzip" you can solve this problem by doing npm install -g unzip and then re-running jspm install.

6. Build the project:

gulp build

7. To run the app, execute the following command:

gulp watch

8. Browse to http://localhost:9000 to see the app. You can make changes in the code found under src and the browser should auto-refresh itself as you save files.

The Skeleton App uses BrowserSync for automated page refreshes on code/markup changes concurrently accross multiple browsers. If you prefer to disable the mirroring feature set the ghostMode option to false.
