```

The minified version can also be accessed from [jsDelivr](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/tgdwyer/WebCola/WebCola/cola.min.js).

#### Npm:

npm install webcola --save

You can also install it through npm by first adding it to `package.json`:

"dependencies": {

}
Then by running `npm install`.

#### Bower:

If you use TypeScript, you can get complete TypeScript definitions by installing [tsd 0.6](https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/tsd) and running `tsd link`.

Building
--------

*Linux/Mac/Windows Command Line:*

- install [node.js](http://nodejs.org)

- from the WebCola directory:

npm install

- build, minify and test:

npm run build
npm run test

This creates the `cola.js` and `cola.min.js` files in the `dist` directory and runs tests.

*Visual Studio:*

- open webcola.sln

Running
-------

*Linux/Mac/Windows Command Line:*

Install the Node.js http-server module:

npm install -g http-server

After installing http-server, we can serve out the example content in the WebCola directory.

npm run website
http-server website

The default configuration of http-server will serve the exampes on [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080).
