Quick start example

From:  Getting Started

• Requirements
  • grunt-cli
    • sudo npm install -g grunt-cli or equivalent.
    • Only grunt-cli is shared.  Each package using grunt will typically keep its own verion of grunt locally.
  • Basic packages.json

    {
      "name": "example_01",
      "version": "0.0.1",
      "devDependencies": {
        "grunt": "~0.4.0",
        "grunt-contrib-jshint": "~0.1.1",
        "grunt-contrib-nodeunit": "~0.1.2"
      }
    }
    

  • Now install grunt alongside the package.
    • npm install grunt --save-dev
    • This creates a node_modules in a current directory if one didn't already exist.
