Compiling CSS and JavaScript

Bootplus includes a makefile with convenient methods for working with the framework. Before getting started, be sure to install the necessary local dependencies:

$ npm install

When completed, you'll be able to run the various make commands provided:

build - make

Runs the recess compiler to rebuild the /less files and compiles the docs. Requires recess and uglify-js.

test - make test

Runs jshint and qunit tests headlessly in phantomjs (used for ci). Depends on having phantomjs installed.

watch - make watch

This is a convenience method for watching just Less files and automatically building them whenever you save. Requires the Watchr gem.

Should you encounter problems with installing dependencies or running the makefile commands, be sure to first uninstall any previous versions (global and local) you may have installed, and then rerun npm install.
