installation and running instructions for the AUI refapp on windows

[Umair Haroon]

Hi , I used the following link to download AUI refapp:

https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/aui

It has instructions that we need to enter the command:

npm Install , and then do:

However I read somewhere that I need to change the extension of the files in the build\bin folder from .sh to .js on a windows machine.

I did that but now I still get errors from npm saying "." not recognized .

There are 4 total files in the folder.

Furthermore the command

grunt build

after the previous command does not work.

Could anyone who has been able to get the aui refapp running on windows please let me know the exact and complete steps to get the aui refapp up and running on windows ?(along with any file edits, they are pretty small)

Sorry to say atlassians link is unhelpful and incomplete for installing and running it on a windows machine. Infact it would be nice if Atlassian could answer this themselves ASAP.

The best and most helpful answer is if you try to get the AUI refapp installed and running on windows and then let me know the exact steps.

Thanks

Would also appreciate if anyone from Atlassian can contribute:

You need some prerequisites like node.js and grunt installed.

Get node.js from here: http://nodejs.org/and install it.

Now install grunt:

And, as you wil need bower, try this link for installation:

http://bower.io/

Hope that helps ;)

@Steve

I have already installed node.js for npm.

The npm install command fails for the reason I mentioned in my question above.

Possible reason is that it has .sh files and the contents of the files there assume a linux directory structure.

You are right, there are only sh files. Maybe you can try it with cygwin, or you have to adapt the sh-files to bat-files for windows...

Which version of AUI refapp did you download?
