Install

Step 1

Install Node.js and then install Alumna 2.0 globally:

npm install @alumna/alumna -g

Step 2

Navigate in your terminal to a directory where you organize your projects
Create a new Alumna project. A new folder "project_name" will be created with the base structure of files and folders.

alumna new <project_name>

Or, create a new Alumna project using an existing empty directory. The base structure of files and folders will be created inside of it.

alumna new .

Step 3

Start the development mode with:

alumna dev

The pre-compiled files of your project will be saved in dev folder and will run in your browser, refreshing with each modification.

Step 4

When you are done, end the dev-mode with a CTRL+C and build your project with:

alumna build

It will be compiled and saved in build folder, with additional minification and tree-shaking process.
