Upgrading from Grunt 0.3.x to 0.4.x

It turns out that grunt 0.3.x and 0.4.x have changed quite a bit and for a newbie like me this can be confusing. Perhaps this might save others in the team from scratching their heads when trying to build aerogear-js.

Grunt 0.4.x has tree parts to it:

1. grunt
   The npm module grunt should be installed locally to your project.

2. grunt-cli
   The npm module grunt-cli should be installed globally. It puts the grunt command in your PATH so you can execute it anywhere.

3. grunt-init
   The init task has been broken into its own npm module, grunt-init. It should be installed globally with npm install -g grunt-init and run with the grunt-init command.

Uninstall earlier version of grunt

If you have grunt installed globally you need to uninstall it first:

$ npm uninstall -g grunt

Node requirement

grunt requires Node.js version >= 0.8.0

$ node --version

Find the latest version of node:

$ nvm ls-remote

Install the version:

$ nvm install v0.9.8

Use this version:

$ nvm use 0.9.8

Install grunt-cli

Now, lets install grunt-cli globally (-g):

$ sudo npm install -g [email protected]

Install grunt

And at the project level (from aergoear-js directory) install grunt:

$ npm install [email protected]

Install a project dependencies

To install the dependencies of the project run:

$ npm install

This will install the version of the deps declared in package.json.

Build

$ grunt
