ng node setup tutorial.md

1. install node
2. install npm if you have to and npm init
3. npm install express --global --save

• global makes the files go to a global dir on your comp instead of in the repo
• save adds it as a dep to your package.json (the functional equivalent of a Gemfile for node.js apps)

1. have an express app that will just serve assets

• it serves stuff in the public dir that is where out app will be
• index.html is a convention that lets the server know that if a person hits the root of a url server this html

1. add bower (because it will get alot of assets and stuff for us)

• npm install bower --global

1. bower install angular in public dir

• bower init
• bower install angular --save
• there is no magic here. all it does is create a download angular and put it in the bower components file
• the --save part of the command persits it to our bower.json which keeps track of all the external assets our app uses

1. have an index.html add angular to it
2. have an app.js
