Docker

Upon running this command on my MacBook Air:

docker run -i -t --name mymeanjs --link mymongodb:db_1 -p 80:3000 maccam912/meanjs:latest bash

We have a running container that needs to have the npm and bower installs completed before we can do much with it. We'll then clone meanjs from github and build it. This image It will also need Ruby and the gem sass installed.

1. Update Node. The maccam912 VM has an older version of node. It's an easy fix.

npm cache clean -f
