- h2#section-install Install Angular
- p There are four steps to create any Angular app:
- ol
- li Create an entry point HTML file where users will start
- li Load the Angular library at the top of the file
- li Make a root component for your application
- li Bootstrap Angular
p.
- Dart makes dependencies available to the application through the pubspec.yaml
file.
- To use Angular2 in your app, include angular as a dependency. Here’s the minimal
- pubspec.yaml
file for this sample:
+ As long as you already
+ have the Dart SDK,
+ getting started with Angular 2 is simple:
- pre.prettyprint.lang-dart
+ ol
+ li Depend on the angular2 pub package.
+ li Create a Dart file that defines (directly or indirectly) a
+ root component and bootstraps Angular.
+ li Create an HTML file that uses the root component and points to the Dart file
+
+ p.
+ You can use whichever editor or IDE you like,
+ or just use the command-line tools that the Dart SDK provides.
+ See Dart Tools

- The Dart Editor automatically downloads the packages your app depends on, along with any packages that they, in
- turn, depend on. If this download fails or you like using the command line, you can explicitly install packages.
