Setup

Pre-requisites

Please make sure that you have the followings installed on your machine:

node >= 8.9.0 (In Zumata, we internally use the latest LTS version (node:carbon) for all our Node.js applications.)
npm >= 5.5.1 (The minimum NPM version for node:carbon.)
eslint >= 4.0.0 (No guarantee it will work below the version specified here)
eslint-plugin-import >= 2.0.1 (No guarantee it will work below the version specified here)
ESLint extension for your favorite text editor

Installation

NPM

First, install generator-zumata-chatbot using npm (we assume you have pre-installed node.js).

# Install with NPM
$ npm install -g yo generator-zumata-chatbot

Then generate your new project:

# Create a new directory if you haven't already.
# Then change to that new directory.
$ mkdir my-chatbot-app && cd my-chatbot-app

# Init with yo
$ yo zumata-chatbot

NPX

npx comes in a package as of node 8.9.0. This means that you can run any CLI written in Node.js without globally installing it.

# Create a new directory if you haven't already.
# Then change to that new directory.
$ mkdir my-chatbot-app && cd my-chatbot-app

# Install packages with NPX and execute the CLI with this one-liner
$ npx -p yo -p generator-zumata-chatbot -- yo zumata-chatbot
