Quick start

Installation

To start with luna-js, you normally start with an empty project and run npm init -y to generate a really basic package.json. After that you have to install luna-js and the luna-cli as a dependency.

To install luna-js run:

npm install @webtides/luna-js --save

The cli should be installed as a development depency. Run:

npm install @webtides/luna-cli --save-dev

First start

After you have installed luna-js and the cli, run npx luna --dev to start luna-js in development mode. This will generate the basic files needed to get going and it will watch your files and restart your luna-js server after a file has been edited.

luna-js starts your application on port 3005, or on the port specified in your luna.config.js. You can now open http://localhost:3005 to see the luna-js welcome page.
