Install

Assuming that you have installed node.js.

1. Build your node app: npm init. Note: use "index.js" for your entry point, if ya want the rest of the scripts to work.
2. Create your app file printf '%s\n' 'const Neice = require("niece");' 'new Neice();' > index.js
3. Install nodemon and npm-add-script to help with development: npm install -g nodemon npm-add-script
4. Add your dev script npmAddScript -k dev -v "nodemon index.js"
5. Install NIECE npm install niece
6. Run your app: npm run dev which will build the site and listen at port 4430. Your site will be http://localhost:4430/
7. Go to http://localhost:4430/user/register and create your admin account.

That's it!

Few notes:

• To restart just run rs
• Type control+z to end the sever
• Run kill -9 $(lsof -t -i:4430) to stop listening on port 4430
