npm install stackerStacker is a flexible task runner with built-in configuration templating and plugin support.
It's compatible with gulp plugins.
Gulp is comprised of two core components:
1. orchestrator for running tasks concurrently
2. vinyl-fs for globbing and piping files
Install via npm or install script.
The preferred method is the install script. This is similar to brew where
the install script clones the main git repo.
Review install script, then...
``bash`
curl -sS --tlsv1.2 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/getstacker/stacker/master/install | sh -e
Installation may take awhile and appear to freeze while installing npm modules.
This is due to a bug in npm 2.0.0 when using npm-shrinkwrap. The install script
should eventually complete even with the npm ERR! cb() error.
It's recommended to use the install script.
`bash`
npm install -g stacker
`bash`
...
flags for v8 3.26.33 cached.
npm ERR! cb() never called!
StackOverflow thread and
Github issue
There's a bug in npm that should be fixed in 2.0.2. Rerunning the install script fixes the issues.
`bash`
curl -sS --tlsv1.2 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/getstacker/stacker/master/uninstall | sh -e
