Aurelia!

I've been going through the Aurelia tutorial here and I have the following dirty notes:

• Get the latest node.js here.
• Confirm the version of node at the command prompt with:
  npm -v
• Install Gulp for builds and jspm for getting client-side packages with:
  npm install -g gulp
  npm install -g jspm
• The tutorial suggests starting with the skeleton-navigation! It also suggests downloading the zip file from here, getting the one folder inside to your PC, and then renaming it to be: navigation-app
• The next step is to open Node, open the command prompt as an Administrator, navigate to navigation-app and run npm install at the command prompt to bring in devDependencies as speced in packages.json in the root of navigation-app into play (install 'em) and then jspm install -y to install the dependencies stuff in the jspm spec in packages.json. This cantankerous stuff is likely to just break. Mine did. For jspm I see an error message suggesting I download git from http://git-scm.com/downloads.
• I tried to install http://git-scm.com/downloads selecting an option to allow for use at the command prompt. Afterwards, jspm install -y ran a little bit better and now I only see four console errors when I bring up the home page of the application.
• jspm_packages/system.js is called out to on line 15 and it cannot be found! I tried to sidestep this by just making a new, empty file.
• Uncaught ReferenceError: System is not defined ..shows up as an error in the other cases. The first of which is on the first line of config.js! Looks like I really need system.js! It looks like it loads ES6 modules. Can I get it at https://github.com/systemjs/systemjs? Maybe with npm install systemjs
• \node_modules\systemjs\dist seems to contain system.js ...I'll copy it to jspm_packages ...still breaking trying to load bootstrapper though I am past the hurdle from a moment ago... the error: Cross origin requests are only supported for protocol schemes: http, data, chrome, chrome-extension, https, chrome-extension-resource.
• This suggests that I need to set the app up as a web site and not run it from a file so I'll try that next I guess. (I know I'm talking to myself at this point in the notes.)
• I'm past that problem, but now there are a bunch of other dependencies that system.js can't find.
• I could try to manually download https://github.com/aurelia/logging and set it up.... it and many other things are missing from the dist folder. Maybe it's time to cool my jets at this point. Perhaps I should try to set all this up in another environment???
