== Installing on mi-linux from Putty ==
+
== Google Angular ==
 
 
=== Installing Angular itself ===
 
 
 
First, go into your '''public_html''' folder, create a NEW folder and locate yourself inside it:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
cd public_html
 
mkdir angular-2018
 
cd angular-2018
 
</pre>
 
 
 
Then run the Angular installation, but WITHOUT the -g option (we are not allowed to install globally on mi-linux)
 
 
 
<pre>
 
npm install @angular/cli
 
</pre>
 
 
 
Note: The above will take a while...
 
Note: You should now have a "node_modules" directory inside your "angular-2018" directory... it contains Angular, including the "ng" command that we need next.
 
 
 
=== Generate your application files ===
 
 
 
Next, we need to create a new project, which is done using the "ng new" command... only the "ng" command is buried inside the "node_modules" directory, so you have 2 options:
 
* specify its full path every time
 
* add it to your linux path
 
 
 
Running the command specifying the full path would look like something like this:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng new app-alix
 
</pre>
 
 
 
Obviously replace "app-alix" with the name of YOUR app...
 
 
 
Once you have done the above, your "angular-2018" directory now contains Angular and YOUR app director:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
drwxr-xr-x  4 in9352 acad    4096 Jan 31 12:52 .
 
drwxr-xr-x  73 in9352 daemon  4096 Jan 31 12:31 ..
 
drwxr-xr-x  6 in9352 acad    4096 Jan 31 14:29 app-alix
 
drwx------ 760 in9352 acad  24576 Jan 31 12:48 node_modules
 
</pre>
 
 
 
The source file of your application are located in '''app-alix/src'''... we will take a look at them later. For now let's compile the default files!
 
 
 
=== Update your base URL ===
 
 
 
Once the application files have been generated, you need to edit the following file: app-alix/src/index.html
 
 
 
You need to specify the base URL on line 6, like this:
 
<pre>
 
<base href="/~in9352/angular-2018/app-alix/dist/">
 
</pre>
 
 
 
Obviously you'll have to change the URL above to match your details... the "/dist/" at the end MUST be included though.
 
 
 
=== Build your application ===
 
 
 
Next you need to '''build''' your application from the source files, using the command '''ng build''', like this:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
cd app-alix
 
node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng build
 
</pre>
 
  
This will create a new '''dist''' directory inside your '''app-alix''' folder. "dist" is short of "distribution", and contains the files of your application (HTML, JavaScript etc.)
+
First, work through the [https://angular.io/tutorial/first-app Build your first Angular app tutorial].
  
In order for them to work, you still need to make sure that the permissions on '''dist''' are suitable:

Then, make a start on the more complicated [https://angular.io/tutorial/tour-of-heroes Tour of Heroes tutorial].
