Starting Your Own Project

This section assumes you have all the prerequisites installed.

Install The CUI Generator

The generator-cui-ng is located on NPM which can be installed by running sudo npm install -g generator-cui-ng

Generate Your New CUI Project

Create a new directory for your CUI project.

From this new project directory you are able to generate the CUI project by running yo cui-ng.

At the end of the process you will be asked to run the grunt command to generate directories for your project's environment variable profile. Click here for more information about the project environment variables.

• Note: We use your HOME environment variable to create the directories that house the project environment profile. The HOME environment variable is by default created on Linux and OSX operating systems. For Windows users, you will have to create this environment variable if you don't have it setup already. The HOME environment variable should resemble C:\Users\username\

Once your project's environment variables are properly set up you can run the project using the grunt command and begin making customizations or implementing new features.
