bootstrap allows you to create a new node.js app with a few things already setup to get you started. It takes a lot of inspiration from the express app executable.

You can use Javascript or Coffeescript by following the prompts.

$ npm install -g bootstrap
$ bootstrap yourappname
$ cd yourappname
$ npm install

If you are using Heroku's Cedar stack and Foreman you can now do

$ foreman start

If you want to start it with node you can do

$ node app.js

If you are using CoffeeScript then you can do

$ coffee app.coffee

TODO:

• Add support for .scss
• Add support for Mustache and Icanhaz.js templates
