# Aurelia CLI

*Bridge Installation*

## Aurelia-CLI

1. `npm install aurelia-kendoui-bridge --save`
2. Open `aurelia_project/aurelia.json` and append the following to the `dependencies` section of the `vendor-bundle`:

   ```javascript
   {
    "name": "aurelia-kendoui-bridge",
    "path": "../node_modules/aurelia-kendoui-bridge/dist/amd",
    "main": "index",
    "resources": [
      "common/*.{js,html}",
      "button/*.{js,html}"
    ]
   }
   ```

   **Note:** When getting ready to create a production bundle you will want to make sure that all resources that you use of the bridge (all wrappers) are defined in the `resources` property in `aurelia.json`. This tells the CLI to add these files to the bundle. If you don't do this you will get 404's after deploying, as RequireJS will look for the missing files in their original location (node\_modules/aurelia-kendoui-bridge/some-file.js)
3. While still in the `aurelia.json` file, change the `stub` property of the `text` plugin to `false`:

   ```javascript
   {
    "name": "text",
    "extensions": [
      ".html",
      ".css"
    ],
    "stub": false
   }
   ```
4. open main.js and register the plugin:

   ```
    export function configure(aurelia) {
      aurelia.use
        .standardConfiguration()
        .developmentLogging()
        .plugin('aurelia-kendoui-bridge');

      aurelia.start().then(a => a.setRoot());
    }
   ```

### Important

It is strongly recommended to continue with the [getting started](https://github.com/aurelia-ui-toolkits/kendo-ui-library-installation-version-2-0/tree/c1cb79e2078d59b39450bf8f6fe18de64586032f/bridge-installation/getting-started.md) page
