- gulp build script that compiles both Sass, checks for JavaScript errors, optimizes images, and concatenates and minifies files
- BrowserSync for keeping multiple browsers and devices synchronized while testing, along with injecting updated CSS and JS into your browser while you're developing
- Bower for front-end package management
- asset-builder for the JSON file based asset pipeline
- Bootstrap
Sage uses gulp as its build system and Bower to manage front-end packages.
Building the theme requires node.js. We recommend you update to the latest version of npm: npm install -g npm@latest
.
From the command line:
- Install gulp and Bower globally with
npm install -g gulp bower
- Navigate to the theme directory, then run
npm install
- Run
bower install
You now have all the necessary dependencies to run the build process.
