Marcel Kinard created CB-5137:
---------------------------------
Summary: docs should describe how to build Cordova from Apache dist
Key: CB-5137
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5137
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Docs
Reporter: Marcel Kinard
Priority: Minor
The docs seem to assume that Cordova was already downloaded either via npm or
from a PhoneGap distribution or similar. Though the Apache Way is to distribute
source code, it isn't clear to the average consumer in the docs how to get
Cordova up and running from either the source zips on dist.apache.org or from
the repos at git-wip-us.apache.org. This documentation should be added, perhaps
as a section such as "How to Obtain Cordova" and/or "How to Build Cordova from
Source".
There may be additional docs needed that describe how to bootstrap the docs
(build the html from the md) if for some reason the user can't get them online
at cordova.apache.org/docs.
