Running the App from Source

First, make sure you have Node.js v4.5.0 and Git installed on your machine.

Then run a command prompt as administrator and install Bower (if you don't already have it installed) by executing this command:

Next, in that administrative prompt, install Gulp:

npm install --g gulp

After Bower and Gulp are installed, in Windows Explorer, open the directory in which you want to download Livewire. Right-click and choose Git Bash Here. If you don't have Git Bash, open Git Shell or any Git-enabled command prompt. Clone the repository by using this command:

git clone https://github.com/infragistics/livewire.git
