##Building surveyjs Editor from sources

To build library yourself:

1. Clone the repo from GitHub

   git clone https://github.com/andrewtelnov/surveyjs.editor.git
   cd surveyjs.editor
   

2. Acquire build dependencies. Make sure you have Node.js installed on your workstation.

   npm install -g gulp
   npm install -g typings
   npm install
   

   The first npm command sets up the popular Gulp build tool. The second npm command sets up the Typescript Definition Manager Typings.

3. Create TypeScript definition files

   typings install
   

   Typescript definition files should be located at 'typings' directory.

4. Build the library

   gulp makedist
   

   After that you should have the library at 'dist' directory.

5. Run unit tests

   gulp copyfiles
   gulp test_ci
   

   The first command will copy all required files to 'wwwroot' directory and the last command will run unit tests usign Karma
