# atvise-scm Installation Manual

_atvise-scm Version 0.4.0-alpha8_
_atvise-scm-cli Version 0.3.0_

## Prerequisites

* Node.js version 6.0 or newer
* Git Version Control

## Step By Step Instructions

_All following instructions are to be issued on a command prompt (e.g. cmd.exe
on windows, bash on Linux, etc.)_

1. As root (or Admin) execute: **npm install -g atvise-scm-cli**

This installs the command line interface that you will later be using to initialize and manage an atvise-scm project.

2. Create a project directory and change into it.

3. Execute: **atvise-scm init**

A dialog will appear and ask you for some project details. Those details will be saved in the file **Atviseproject.js**.

4. Still in the project directory, execute: **npm install atvise-scm --save-dev**

You can now list all available tasks with **atvise-scm --tasks**

5. Make sure atvise is running and hosting your project. Then execute: **atvise-scm pull**

Before using any other commands, we recommend pulling in all project specific nodes so they are registered in the **.atviserc** file.

You can now use the tool to pull changes in your nodes.db into the atvise-scm project directory, and push changes in the other direction with **atvise-scm pull** and **atvise-scm push** respectively. You can also monitor and automatically push changes in your project directory to your nodes.db by starting a watch process with **atvise-scm watch**. The file watching process can be quit with **CTRL-C**.
