Installing Grunt
Grunt is essentially a Node.js module; therefore, it requires Node.js to be installed. The goal of this recipe is to show you how to install Grunt on your system and set up your project.
Getting ready
Installing Grunt requires both Node.js and npm. Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications, and npm is a package manager for Node.js. You can download the Node.js source code or a prebuilt installer for your platform at https://nodejs.org/en/download/. Notice that npm is bundled with Node. Also, read the instructions at https://github.com/npm/npm#super-easy-install.
How to do it...
After installing Node.js and npm, installing Grunt is as simple as running a single command, regardless of the operating system that you are using. Just open the command line or the Terminal and execute the following command:
npm install -g grunt-cli
That's it! This command will install Grunt globally and make it accessible...
