Quick Start Installation Guide

Welcome to the smk-cli wiki!

"smk-cli" is derived from Simple Map Kit (SMK) Command Line Interface (CLI). It is a product that allows for rapid creation and editing of SMK dev kit based mapping applications. It is built using the nodejs (www.nodejs.org) framework for scalable network applications thus its dependency on the installation of nodejs prior to installation of smk-cli.
