Prerequisites
This section will give you some information about what tools you will need. You can skip to the
Installation section to start installing the template. We already mentioned all the prerequisites and
how to install them in the Installation section.
Angular CLI
Fuse uses Angular CLI for quickly
bootstrapping the application. You can check out the link for
more detailed information.
Simply, Angular CLI is a tool to initialize, develop, scaffold and maintain Angular
applications
Node.js
To install and use Fuse, you will need Node.js
installed to your computer. We won't get into too much detail about Node.js as it's out of the scope
of this documentation. Also you won't need to actually use Node.js, it's only required for the
development process.
Git
To be able to install and use Fuse, you will also need
Git installed to your computer. Git is required for
npm to work correctly.
Npm - Package Manager
Fuse uses npm package manager to install and manage 3rd
party components and libraries.

the demo content so you don't have to clean up the demo content.

Extract the contents of the zip file (Fuse-x.x.x-skeleton.zip) into a folder that you will
work within. For this documentation, we will refer that as "your work folder".
-
