Playbook

Playbook is a Yeoman generator for prototyping and building experiences. Jekyll is included for static site generation. Bourbon, Neat & Bitters are included to help you write CSS faster.

Gulp is used for compilation of Sass and CoffeeScript (optional). Bower is used for managing dependencies.

Prerequisites

• Node.js >=0.10.0
• Yeoman >=1.1.2
• Gulp.js >=3.8.11
• Ruby >=2.0.0
• Bundler >=1.10.2

Installation

npm install -g generator-playbook

Updates

If you already have Playbook installed, please update before generating new projects to get the latest updates.

npm list -g generator-playbook # See your installed version
npm info generator-playbook dist-tags.latest # See the latest version
npm update -g generator-playbook # Update Playbook globally

Usage

Playbook will run bundle install. If you would like to install the Playbook gems into a gemset, set that up before running yo playbook.

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
yo playbook

Should you run into an error such as command yo not found it may be related to a path issue when installing Node.js via Homebrew. Please refer to the top answer on this StackOverflow question.
