## Compiling CSS and JavaScript
## Configuration
Edit `lib/config.php` to enable or disable theme features and to define a Google Analytics ID.
Edit `lib/init.php` to setup navigation menus, post thumbnail sizes, post formats, and sidebars.
## Theme development
Roots uses [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) for compiling LESS to CSS, checking for JS errors, live reloading, concatenating and minifying files, versioning assets, and generating lean Modernizr builds.
To use it, install the required dependencies as directed and then run some Grunt commands.
### Install Grunt
**Unfamiliar with npm? Don't have node installed?** [Download and install node.js](http://nodejs.org/download/) before proceeding.
From the command line:
1. Install `grunt-cli` globally with `npm install -g grunt-cli`.
2. Navigate to the theme directory, then run `npm install`. npm will look at `package.json` and automatically install the necessary dependencies. It will also automatically run `bower install`, which references dependencies in `bower.json`.
2. Navigate to the theme directory, then run `npm install`. npm will look at `package.json` and automatically install the necessary dependencies. It will also automatically run `bower install`, which installs front-end packages defined in `bower.json`.
When completed, you'll be able to run the various Grunt commands provided from the command line.
**Unfamiliar with npm? Don't have node installed?** [Download and install node.js](http://nodejs.org/download/) before proceeding.
### Available Grunt commands
* `grunt dev` — Compile LESS to CSS, concatenate and validate JS
* `grunt watch` — Compile assets when file changes are made
* `grunt build` — Create minified assets that are used on non-development environments
## Configuration
Edit `lib/config.php` to enable or disable support for various theme functions and to define constants.
Edit `lib/init.php` to setup navigation menus, post thumbnail sizes, post formats, and sidebars.
