How lineman is supposed to be updated? #339

felippenardi commented 9 years ago

Hello guys,

I'm using the lineman-angular-template. According to its instructions, I should clone and then customize it to my needs.

My question is: how does I update lineman later? I can't merge the lineman-angular-template becauses it cames with the templates itself.

The lineman-angular-template is really intended as a learning tool that sets you up with examples of testing, push-state configuration, authentication and route control and some simple view management. I've found it much easier to get started on a new Angular project by using lineman new and then installing lineman-angular with npm i lineman-angular --save-dev.

That way, you don't inherit all of the examples from lineman-angular-template which should make updating lineman or lineman-angular a little easier :)

Then lineman-angular would become a npm dependency, that is good. And how about the lineman itself?

How can I update what was generated by lineman new?

Lineman runs globally if it's not present locally in node_modules. If it's installed locally (e.g. you specify the version you would like in your package json and run npm install), then that version wins and the project runs at that version.
