## Quick Start

The Quick Start is a simple demo that uses [npm](https://www.npmjs.org/) to install steal, steal-tools, [grunt](http://gruntjs.com/),
and [jquery](http://jquery.com/) to build a `Hello World` app. Steal supports a wide variety of other configuration options which can be found [steal here].

### Install

Install [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) on your computer.
Create a directory for all your static content, scripts, and styles.
This is your [System.baseURL BASE] folder. Within that folder run `npm init` to, create a `package.json`:

Note: when it asks for the "entrypoint", write "main.js".

    > npm init

Within the BASE folder, use [npm](https://www.npmjs.org/) to install steal, steal-tools, jquery,
[grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) and a simple `http-server` to help get you started. Use `--save-dev` to save the configuration to `package.json`.

	> npm install steal --save-dev
    > npm install steal-tools --save-dev
    > npm install jquery --save-dev
    > npm install grunt --save-dev
    > npm install grunt-cli --save-dev
    > npm install http-server --save-dev

Your `BASE` should now look like this:

### Install

Install [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) on your computer and that [grunt-cli](http://gruntjs.com/getting-started) is installed globally.

Create a directory for all your static content, scripts, and styles.
This is your [System.baseURL BASE] folder. Within that folder run `npm init` to, create a `package.json`:

Note: when it asks for the "entrypoint", write "main.js".

[grunt](http://gruntjs.com/). Use `--save-dev` to save the configuration to `package.json`.

	> npm install steal steal-tools  --save-dev
    > npm install grunt jquery --save-dev

If you already have a webserver running locally, you can skip this step. If you don't have a web server, install this simple zero-configuration command-line [http-server](simple zero-configuration command-line http server) to help you get started.

    > npm install http-server -g

Your `BASE` should now look like this:
