amber init

Since version 0.12 the command line version of Amber has an init command. The command is to be run in an empty directory and after asking some configuration questions creates the setup files for an Amber project.

For the Presentation project of the amber-examples project the initialisation process is as follows

$ amber init
Welcome to Amber version 0.13.0 (NodeJS 0.10.25).
Running "init:/usr/local/lib/node_modules/amber-cli/node_modules/grunt-init-amber" (init) task
This task will create one or more files in the current directory, based on the
environment and the answers to a few questions. Note that answering "?" to any
question will show question-specific help and answering "none" to most questions
will leave its value blank.

Initialized from template "grunt-init-amber".
You need to have these installed globally via npm: amber-cli_; _grunt-cli_;
_bower. Now, install project dependencies with bower install, tool
dependencies with npm install and optionally, recompile with grunt. If you
are running amber init, these three tasks are going to be performed for you
now. Afterwards, start the development server with amber serve. Your
application is then accessible via http://localhost:4000/

Done, without errors.
