• In the same directory as your gruntfile and package.json, run npm install This will create the node dependencies in a subfolder called node_modules

• Modify gruntfile.js in your favorite text editor: http://www.sublimetext.com/3 to reflect the directories with files you want to sling

  jcrRoot: '../uhc_member/ui/src/main/content/jcr_root/',
  
  projectDesigns: '../etc/designs/uhc-common/mobileaarp/member/mobileuhcm/'
  

• Run the grunt command in the directory with your gruntfile and node modules subfolder:

  grunt

This will send some output to the screen and will run the continuous process watching your directories and slinging changes to CQ5.

When you save a file in the specified directory, you should see something like this in your terminal.
