In addition to Node.js and Bower, Paella Player uses Gulp as a task runner and build system. You can use npm to install Gulp in your system:
sudo npm install -g gulp
npm install -g gulp
Finally, we need to install the gulp modules needed by Paella. Open the terminal and go to the folder you have downloaded paella player. Now, run the next command:
npm install
Congratulations, you have all the dependencies installed.
To build paella player you need to open a terminal and go to the paella folder, and run:
gulp build.release
A new folder (named build) will be created with the player and a test repository. You will find paella at build/player.
You can test Paella by running the command:
gulp server.release
This command will build paella and launch a local server with paella. You can open a browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000.
This command also is watching for changes in paella sorce code and if any file changes, rebuild paella itself. It’s very usefull while developing paella or any plugin.
