The FrontSide is a application platform for creating FE applications which can run on the client (browser) and on the server.
In order to build / run the FrontSite, you need to have Node.js/npm latest and git 1.8+ or later. (Earlier versions might work OK, but only the latest version is tested.)
Also make sure that git is installed as some FrontSite packages require it to be fetched and installed.
First, clone a copy of the main FrontSite git repo by running:
git clone https://github.com/paapster/the_frontsite.git
Install Bower globally using npm:
npm install -g bower
Inside the project folder get de bower dependencies
bower install
Then also in the project folder, install de NPM dependencies
npm install
Install the grunt-cli package if you haven't before. These should be done as global installs:
npm install -g grunt-cli
