Getting Started #35

Closed paranoid-android closed 8 years ago

Hello,

PhotonKit looks great. However, it is unclear how to actually start an app. I followed the "Getting "Started" information. I downloaded the "Precompiled Photon" I can see the css, fonts, and template-app directories. However, I can't figure out what to do now. How do I run the thing?

developit commented 8 years ago

npm install to install everything, then run npm start to run Electron using template-app.

Regarding clarifying the documentation, I think there might be something missing (or less clear than it needs to be) that would describe the relationship between Photon and Electron - Photon is a CSS toolkit for use within Electron. Generally if you're setting up a new project, you would use something like sindresorhus/electron-boilerplate.

@developit Thank you so much for your help. This cleared it right up for me.
