Riot.js

You can learn more about the fantastic Riot.js minimalistic, yet very powerful javascript MV* framework on their website.

We'll start a Riot.js project, once we have Node.js and NPM installed, as well as add a few dev tools that will ease our development efforts. Please note that we'll always use npm to locally install all packages, referencing some as “dev-only” so that our package list will include everything that is effectively require for the project production and development usage.

NOTE for VirtualBox VMs shared folders: If you are using a VirtualBox shared folder for your dev files, then you have to “prepare” it for correct symlinks operations from your host computer command line: See Create VirtualBox shared folder and Virtualbox: Symlinks inside shared folders in this wiki.

Let's init our project

> mkdir /path/to/dev/project
> cd /apth/to/dev/project

> npm install riot --save
> npm install babel --save-dev

> nano package.json
