Here a little HowTo to get the breakout frontend dev environment running:

  1. Installation
  1. Clone the repository to your local machine
  2. Run following commands on your root repository folder.
    • "npm install" (installs all npm dependencies)
    • "bower install" (installs all bower dependencies if it fails, try "npm install -g bower")
  3. Happy Coding!
  4. Run "grunt" before your commit/ use "grunt watch" during development for instant build after save
    • If throws an sass error, try "npm rebuild node-sass"

Starting the server:

  1. Run "node server/server.js"
  2. Navigate to http://localhost:3000

About package managers:
npm is used for ther node server and the build process bower is used for the website as it is a flat dependency package manager.
