Setting up with Chassis
Firstly, cd to where your projects will be set up. We'll create a new directory for this project - change the variables to match your needs.

mkdir "$PROJECT"
cd "$PROJECT"
git clone --recursive https://github.com/Chassis/Chassis
cd Chassis
yo matter-kit:setup
Fill out the prompts from the matter-kit:setup generator, which builds the local config file for Chassis. We've opted to use the WordPress default content folder names to better align with the usual live environments we face.

yo matter-kit:install-components
Choose the components you wish to install. Several are checked by default, because they're commonly used across all installs.
Note that this installation process doesn't install Advanced Custom Fields Pro, which is a necessary WordPress plugin for using the Matter Kit theme base. We also recommend installing Gravity Forms, however the installation will work without that.
npm install
Run the install to download the frontend dependencies and get the build process going.
