Installation

Installing Node
Before triggering Elixir, you must first ensure that Node.js is installed on your machine. You will want at least the latest LTS version of Node.
node -v
Installing ColdBox Elixir
If you generate a ColdBox application using any of our elixir templates then you will find a package.json file in the root of the application already. Think of this like your box.json file, except it defines Node dependencies instead of ColdFusion (CFML) dependencies. A typical example can look like this:
{
  "private": true,
  "devDependencies": {
    "coldbox-elixir": "^4.0.0"
  }
}
It defines ColdBox Elixir as a dev dependency. You may then install the dependencies it references by running:
npm install
This will install ColdBox Elixir and its dependencies into the node_modules folder in your root. This folder has been already added to the .gitignore file as well, so no need to further ignore it.
