Installation

Before you can start using the Backbone Boilerplate you need to install it! :D

Using the scaffolding tool (Preferred method)

In order to use the scaffolding tool, you will need the following:

• node.js
• grunt
• grunt-bbb

To initialize a new project, simply run:

mkdir myproject
cd myproject
bbb init

This will build the entire boilerplate into your directory.

Downloading an archive

The master branch (latest copy) is available from GitHub as a compressed archive in either ZIP or TAR format. Windows users may find the ZIP archive easier to work with and GNU/Linux users may find the TAR format easier to work with.

• Download ZIP
• Download TAR

Using Git

This will download the latest boilerplate into your application directory and clean out all the unnecessary git remnants.

mkdir myproject
cd myproject
git clone https://github.com/tbranyen/backbone-boilerplate.git .
rm -rf .git*
