System: Unix-based system.

Software: Node.js (>= 0.6.0 < 0.9.0), npm (> 1.0.0)

Installation Steps¶

Create a Mojito Application¶

1. $ mojito create app hello_world
2. $ cd hello_world
3. $ mojito create mojit myMojit

Modify Your Application¶

To make the application return a string we want, replace the code in mojits/myMojit/controller.server.js with the following:

YUI.add('myMojit', function(Y, NAME) {

  Y.namespace('mojito.controllers')[NAME] = {

      index: function(ac) {
          ac.done('Hello, world. I have created my first Mojito app at ' + (new Date()) + '.');
      }

  };
});

Running the Application¶

1. From the hello_world application directory, start Mojito:

   $ mojito start

2. Go to http://localhost:8666/@myMojit/index to see your application.

3. Stop your application by pressing Ctrl-C.
