Quick-start guide

For the impatient, here’s how to get boilerplate Tonic up and running.

~ $ git clone https://github.com/patrickoleary/tonic.git
~ $ cd tonic
~/tonic $ npm install
~/tonic $ grunt init
~/tonic $ grunt
~/tonic $ grunt serve
# => Now browse to http://localhost:8081

If you wish to install Tonic into a different directory, you can do so by alternatively running cd different directory then follow the same quick start procedure.

That’s nothing, though. The real magic happens when you start creating data, using the widgets and views in your layouts, and taking advantage of all the awesome options Tonic makes available.

If you’re running into problems, ensure you have all the requirements installed.
