How to clone an ember-cli project?

I am trying to test some Broccoli debugging. For that I do:

» git clone https://github.com/rwjblue/debugging-broccoli.git
» cd debugging-broccoli
» ember init # I am asked here about overwriting some files. I say no
» ember serve

And I am greeted with:

version: 0.1.11
You have to be inside an ember-cli project in order to use the serve command.

So, maybe it was not ember init, but ember install (whatever, ember init seems like the right command to initialize a cloned repository, but I digress ...). So I try ember install (with a fresh clone, just in case):

» git clone https://github.com/rwjblue/debugging-broccoli.git
» cd debugging-broccoli
» ember install
version: 0.1.11
You have to be inside an ember-cli project in order to use the install command.

So, how can I clone and serve an exisiting ember-cli repo?

Note

Strangely enough, in my application repo I have a different version of ember-cli:

» ember --version
version: 0.1.12
node: 0.10.25
npm: 2.1.8

I though ember-cli was installed globally ...

Solution

  • Using ember-cli -g is only for command line, you need it local. Use npm and bower install after cloning.
