$ npm install

Now, you're ready to work on the project. Open the folder in Sublime.

Running Grunt

To see the web page with sample project, run grunt from the Terminal.

How to cancel out of terminal

You can always cancel out of the watch task by pressing Control + C on your keyboard. This will allow you to quit Terminal and go on to other things.

After initial setup, you can always relaunch the site and continue from where you left off by opening your Terminal, and cd into the directory of your project, and running grunt by itself. This will launch both the connect/watch tasks as well as create the build folder.

$ npm run grunt

Modifying exercise files

Once you've run grunt, you can find the exercise files in the src folder. In this particular project, they will be under src/instagram and src/form.
