These are common tasks for many of today's open web developers, but have been confusing for ASP.NET 5 users who don't usually work on the command line. js you wanted into the folder of your choice, then run gulp to actually move it. For example, you'd install angular with bower, then manually edit the gulp file to copy the. In very early builds of ASP.NET 5 we put those libraries in a folder outside the web root (It also meant another step after installing a new JavaScript library. This means ASP.NET 5 folks get to use the same great client-side libraries that other open web technologies enjoy. The most popular JavaScript and CSS libraries are there, and there's no need for us to duplicate them in NuGet. You can find instructions in our documentation for installing ASP.NET 5 beta8 on Windows, Mac and Linux.ĪSP.NET 5 uses the NuGet package manager to get server-side libraries but for client-side things we recommend folks use Bower. Yes, that's a lot of betas, but it's important to get things right when you're doing something new like this.
