1. npm install
2. bower install

yo gulp-angular --help or yo gulp-angular -h for help. All options are not required. If not provided, default values will be used.

• --app-path='src' customize Angular's app folder, relative to cwd, default is src
• --dist-path='dist' customize build target folder, relative to cwd, default is dist
• --e2e-path='e2e' customize e2e test specs folder, relative to cwd, default is e2e
• --tmp-path='.tmp' customize pre-processing temp folder, relative to cwd, default is .tmp
• --skip-install do not run bower install and npm install after generating the app, default is false (not skip)
• --skip-welcome-message skip yo welcome messages, default is false (not skip)
• --skip-message skip install messages, default is false (not skip)
• --default use default configurations, default is false
• --advanced prompt for advanced additional features, default is false

Paths configuration are stored in gulpfile.js. Change options.(src|dist|tmp|e2e) in gulpfile.js if you want to config paths after the app is generated.

Warning: The paths are also written in the index.html for the build with useref. If you want to change these paths, you also have to change the paths there in order to have the build task working.

• gulp or gulp build to build an optimized version of your application in /dist
• gulp serve to launch a browser sync server on your source files
• gulp serve:dist to launch a server on your optimized application
• gulp test to launch your unit tests with Karma
• gulp test:auto to launch your unit tests with Karma in watch mode
• gulp protractor to launch your e2e tests with Protractor
• gulp protractor:dist to launch your e2e tests with Protractor on the dist files

There is none at the generation but you can add .jade, .haml or .hbs (dependent of your HTML pre-processor choice) anywhere in the src folder and it will be compiled automatically. Warning, the first file of a type in a folder is often missed by the Gulp watch, try to relaunch Gulp if it happens.
