Before doing all dev stuff make sure you have node installed. After that, run `npm install --dev` in the main directory to install the node module dependencies.
To build a development version of the framework, run `grunt dev`. To run a full build, which also produces the minified version and the individually minified modules for the custom build, run `grunt full`. You can also run `grunt beta` to generate a beta version.
* While developing it is easy to use `grunt server` with watch task. Just run it and go to [http://localhost:8080/test/runner.html](http://localhost:8080/test/runner.html). After src file change kinetic-dev.js will be automatically created, so you just need refresh test the page.
KineticJS is covered with hundreds of tests and well over a thousand assertions. KineticJS uses TDD (test driven development) which means that every new feature or bug fix is accompanied with at least one new test.
* You have to install node-canvas dependencies (https://github.com/LearnBoost/node-canvas/wiki/_pages)[https://github.com/LearnBoost/node-canvas/wiki/_pages]
I'd be happy to review any pull requests that may better the KineticJS project, in particular if you have a bug fix, enhancement, or a new shape (see `src/shapes` for examples). Before doing so, please first make sure that all of the tests pass (`grunt test`).
