Using Foundation for in-browser designs


For practice, let's set up a new project again for Foundation. For those of you who are following along with the book in Codio, select Tools and then Command bar from the top menu.

npm install -g bower grunt-cli

If you are not using Codio, you might need to type the following command:

gem install foundation

This should take a few seconds. If you are not using Codio, go to the directory where you want to put this Foundation with the Sass project. The command will be something like the following if you are on a Mac machine:

cd Sites/GIVEYOURPROJECTANAME

The command will be something like the following if you are on Windows:

cd C:\users\{your name}\Documents
