Installation

You need NodeJS 0.6+ or later and npm 1.1.69 or later. Then it's sufficient just to make npm install bem.

To work with bem tools on Windows you need to have minimalist unix development environment. We recomend to install git which has built-in MinGW as you'll probably need git in your further work anyway.

Install bem-tools globally or locally for particular project (which is preferable). Don't pay attention to WARN messages while installation.
```
 sudo npm -g install bem
```

or better add bem into package.json like this:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "bem": "~0.5.25"
  }
}

Usage

Get the list of commands with bem --help. To read about commands and subcommands use bem COMMAND --help or bem COMMAND SUBCOMMAND --help.

For quick start consider to checkout bem project stub and follow the instructions in README.md.

Shell completion

bash

To make completions for bem-tools available in your bash, run following command (ensure that you have bash-completion installed, first). Run this

bem completion > /path/to/etc/bash_completion.d/bem

and restart bash.

If you aren't using bash-completion, you can add bem completion to your .bashrc and reload:

bem completion >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

zsh

If you use zsh, you can add bem completion to your .zshrc and reload:

bem completion >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc
