MMPilot can be installed either as a global command line utility or as a dev dependency in your Node.js project. A global installation is not required unless you want to use mmpilot commands for creating a new project.

Pre-requisites

Before installing MMPilot, please make sure that Node.js is installed on your system. Head over to the Node.js website to download and install latest version of Node.js utility.

To ensure Node.js is correctly installed and npm is available in your PATH, run the following command in a terminal

node -v

This should output a version number similar to 3.10.8

Install Globally

To install mmpilot globally, run the following command in your terminal.

npm install mmpilot -g

Once mmpilot installs, you would be able to run mmpilot commands from your terminal such as the following:

mmpilot new web mywebsite

Install as Project Dependency

To install mmpilot as your project dependency, run the following command inside your Node.js projects root.

npm install mmpilot --save-dev

This will add an entry in devDependencies of your project's package.json file.

Once you have installed mmpilot in your project you can get started by learning about setting up the project structure.

Alternatively, use the MMPilot starter templates to get started faster with your project.
