2. npm install
3. Build - grunt
4. To view in a browser - http://localhost:4200
5. To run unit tests at the command line grunt test
6. To run unit tests in a browser - http://localhost:4200/tests

Building and Deploying

1. To build everything grunt build
2. To deploy to S3 grunt deploy

Note: To build, you need to have binary dependencies installed for grunt-img. See the project page for how to set that up. If you have a Mac and use homebrew, you can run this to install them:
