I thought I should try and teach myself AngularJS. I've got a few websites that could probably do with updating, so thought I could try and kill two birds with one stone by using one of these new-fangled frameworks! I know that my current hosts don't support Node.js, so all I want is to use Angular on a standard LAMP stack (although for dev purposes, I'm running XAMPP on Windows).
The AngularJS tutorial (https://docs.angularjs.org/tutorial) says `If you want to run the preconfigured local web-server and the test tools then you will also need Node.js v0.10.27+.` - since I don't want to run the preconfigured web-server, or use their test tools, I skipped this step. I've been given the impression that Angular does not need Node.js to run at all - is this correct? I checked out the angular-phonecat files to `C:\Users\chris\htdocs\angularjs_tutorial\angular-phonecat\app` and set up a subdomain `http://angularjs.localhost`, mapped to `C:\Users\chris\htdocs\angularjs_tutorial\angular-phonecat`, so that ' http://angularjs.localhost/app/index.html' should work (i.e. matching the tutorial's URL). I then, as directed, ran `git checkout -f step-0` ( https://docs.angularjs.org/tutorial/step_00); the source code for `index.html` is as at http://plnkr.co/edit/qRD76u8twFpqMmcf1D1O?p=catalogue When I go to that page, I see Nothing here {{'yet' + '!'}} instead of Nothing here yet! I note that there *isn't* a `bower_components` directory in the current directory - is this something handled by the preconfigured Node.js server; - or is it a bug in the tutorial? (is this something to do with angular.seed? If so, why doesn't the tutorial mention it rather than making us spend hours googling to find out about it...?!) Either way, what else do I need to do / what's the best way to proceed? The fact that I already had the Windows git client should indicate (I hope!) I'm not an utter technophobic luddite (most of my job is programming, but I'm a chemistry graduate originally) but it does slightly frustrate me that developers put barriers in place to people who aren't total experts (although I do recognise that, although developers can't support all possible combinations, there is often a fine line between this and supporting combinations of dependencies that are most common...) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AngularJS" group.
