Setup based on (gulp-starter)[https://github.com/greypants/gulp-starter]
If you've never used Node or npm before, you'll need to install Node. If you use homebrew, do:
brew install node
Otherwise, you can download and install from here.
Gulp must be installed globally in order to use the command line tools. You may need to use sudo
npm install -g gulp
The gulp-compass module relies on Compass already being installed on your system.
gem update --system
gem install compass
npm install
This runs through all dependencies listed in package.json and downloads them
to a node_modules folder in your project directory.
gulp
This will create and run the task defined in gulpfile.js. If you're on OS X,
and have Chrome installed, a window will open displaying the demo page. If not,
you can visit http://localhost:8080 to view the test page.
