Quick Start

This guide will help you get started with Pixel and give you an overview of the integrated UI Kit

Quick start

This template requires Node and Gulp CLI. Please follow these steps to install the required technologies:

  1. Make sure you have Node locally installed.
  2. Download Gulp Command Line Interface to be able to use gulp in your Terminal.
npm install gulp-cli -g
  1. After installing Gulp, run npm install in the main pixel/ folder to download all the project dependencies. You’ll find them in the node_modules/ folder.
npm install
  1. Run gulp in the pixel/ folder to serve the project files using BrowserSync. Running gulp will compile the theme and open /index.html in your main browser.
gulp

While the gulp command is running, files in the assets/scss/, assets/js/ and components/ folders will be monitored for changes. Files from the assets/scss/ folder will generate injected CSS.

Hit CTRL+C to terminate the gulp command. This will stop the local server from running.

Theme without Sass, Gulp or Npm

If you’d like to get a version of our theme without Sass, Gulp or Npm, we’ve got you covered. Run the following command:

gulp build:dev

This will generate a folder html&css which will have unminified CSS, Html and Javascript.

Minified version

If you’d like to compile the code and get a minified version of the HTML and CSS just run the following Gulp command:

gulp build:dist

This will generate a folder dist which will have minified CSS, Html and Javascript.
