The Rownd Start Up Kit An easy to use boilerplate for Rownd.js

Installing

Getting your new project set up is easy. Download the latest Start up kit release using the links at the top of the page. After you've extracted the files to your project folder, run the command npm install && grunt. The installation command will install of the dependancies required to get you up and running. It will also build your project into the dist folder and keep watching for changes you make.

Running

The Rownd start up kit comes rolled with a basic node server so you don't have to do any set up to get your application running on your machine or on a node ready web server. Simply run the command node server.js. The default port that the server runs is 2020 but you can change this by giving your chosen port number as a parameter to the command. E.g. node server.js 8080
