Installation of the Angular CLI net-incident application

This is an Angular CLI application. CLI stands for Command Line Interface. CLI is a specific platform for developing an Angular application. CLI command are entered on the command line and starts with ng.

The net-incident is embedded in net-incident-master which contains both Web API services and this Angular application.

1. Download node modules:

   Launch a command line DOS prompt and navigate to the Net-Incident\net-incident root Angular application folder. At the command line enter npm install and wait for it to complete. The node_modules folder should contain over 30,000 files. This folder should rarely be backed up.

2. Test the application:

   From the previous command line enter ng test and it should launch Chrome and continuously run all of the tests (to exit, enter Cntl C).

   I use VS Code to build the application (its free). You can use what you desire.

   Launch a command line DOS prompt and navigate to the Net-Incident\net-incident root Angular application folder. At the command line enter:
