Installation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

```
npm install -g ember-cli
```

Usage
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After installation the `ember` CLI tool will be available to you. It is the
entrypoint for all the functionality mentioned above.

You can call `ember <command> --help` to find out more about all of the
following commands or visit <https://ember-cli.com/user-guide/> to read
the in-depth documentation.


### Create a new project

```
ember new my-new-app
```

This will create a new folder `my-new-app`, initialize a Git project in it,
add the basic Ember.js project structure and install any necessary npm and
Bower dependencies.


### Create a new addon project

```
ember addon my-new-addon
```

This is essentially similar to `ember new` but will generate the structure
for an ember-cli addon instead.


### Build the project

```
ember build
```

This will create a `dist` folder and run the build pipeline to generate all
the output files in it. You can specify `--environment=production` to build
in production mode, which includes code minification and other optimizations.


### Run the development server

```
ember serve
```

This will launch a development server that will automatically rebuild your
project on file changes and serves the built app at <http://localhost:4200/>.


### Run the test suite

```
ember test
```

This command will start the Testem runner, which will run all your tests from
the `tests` folder. This command also supports a `--server` option which will
automatically run tests on file changes.


### Generate files

```
ember generate route foo
```

This will generate a `route` named `foo`. `route` is an example here and can
be replaced by any other available blueprint. Blueprints are provided by
ember-cli itself and any of you installed addons. Run `ember generate --help`
to see a list of available blueprints in your project and their options.


### Install an ember-cli addon

```
ember install some-other-addon
```

This will search npm for a package named `some-other-addon`, install it and
run any additional install steps defined in the addon.


Community
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Slack: [Get your invite](https://ember-community-slackin.herokuapp.com/)
- IRC: #ember-cli on [freenode](https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=%23ember-cli)
- Issues: [ember-cli/issues](https://github.com/ember-cli/ember-cli/issues)
- Website: [ember-cli.com](https://ember-cli.com)


Development
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Start by cloning the Git project to your local hard drive:

```
git clone https://github.com/ember-cli/ember-cli.git
```

### Link `ember` to your development version


Running the following command will link the global `ember` utility to your
local development version:

```
npm link
```

Note that the global `ember` CLI utility will automatically relay to any
project-local ember-cli installation. If you want to use your development
version there instead run the following command from your Ember.js
project folder:

```
npm link ember-cli
```

Read the official [npm-link documentation](https://www.npmjs.org/doc/cli/npm-link.html)
for more information.


### Run the test suite

```
npm test
```

will run ESLint and the "fast" subset of the test suite. Run
`npm run test-all` for the full test suite which will currently take quite a
few minutes due to heavy IO and network usage.

ember-cli is using [Mocha](https://mochajs.org/) for its internal tests. If
you want to run a specific subset of tests have a look at their
[documentation](https://mochajs.org/#exclusive-tests).
