Install npm packages

Install the npm packages described in the package.json and verify that it works:

Attention Windows Developers: You must run all of these commands in administrator mode

npm install
npm start

The npm start command first compiles the application, then simultaneously re-compiles and runs the lite-server. Both the compiler and the server watch for file changes.

Shut it down manually with Ctrl-C.

You're ready to write your application.

npm scripts

We've captured many of the most useful commands in npm scripts defined in the package.json:

• npm start - runs the compiler and a server at the same time, both in "watch mode".
• npm run tsc - runs the TypeScript compiler once.
• npm run tsc:w - runs the TypeScript compiler in watch mode; the process keeps running, awaiting changes to TypeScript files and re-compiling when it sees them.
• npm run lite - runs the lite-server, a light-weight, static file server, written and maintained by John Papa and Christopher Martin with excellent support for Angular apps that use routing.
• npm run typings - runs the typings tool.
• npm run postinstall - called by npm automatically after it successfully completes package installation. This script installs the TypeScript definition files this app requires.

Here are the test related scripts:

• npm test - compiles, runs and watches the karma unit tests
• npm run webdriver:update - ONE TIME update for protractor end-to-end (e2e) tests
• npm run e2e - run protractor e2e tests, written in JavaScript (*e2e-spec.js)
