The Grunt command line interface.
Install this globally and you'll have access to the grunt
command anywhere on your system.
npm install -g grunt-cli
Note: The job of the grunt
command is to load and run the version of Grunt you have installed locally to your project, irrespective of its version. Starting with Grunt v0.4, you should never install Grunt itself globally. For more information about why, please read this.
See the Getting Started guide for more information.
To enable tab auto-completion for Grunt, add one of the following lines to your ~/.bashrc
or ~/.zshrc
file.
# Bash, ~/.bashrc
eval "$(grunt --completion=bash)"
# Zsh, ~/.zshrc
eval "$(grunt --completion=zsh)"
If you prefer the idiomatic Node.js method to get started with a project (npm install && npm test
) then install grunt-cli locally with npm install grunt-cli --save-dev
. Then add a script to your package.json
to run the associated grunt command: "scripts": { "test": "grunt test" }
. Now npm test
will use the locally installed ./node_modules/.bin/grunt
executable to run your Grunt commands.
