Installation
Overview
Install Node.js

Install NPM
Npm is the package manager for JavaScript and the world’s largest software registry. Npm is a separate project from Node.js, and tends to update more frequently. As a result, even if you’ve just downloaded Node.js (and therefore npm), you’ll probably need to update your npm.
npm install --global npm@latestVerify that npm in successfully installed, and version of installed npm will appear.
npm --versionInstall Yarn
Yarn is a package manager for your code. It allows you to use and share code with other developers from around the world. Yarn does this quickly, securely, and reliably so you don’t ever have to worry.
npm install --global yarnVerify that yarn in successfully installed, and version of installed yarn will appear.
yarn --versionHere is just a way to install yarn, using npm package manager. Alternatively, you can install yarn using other methods as stated in yarn installation site. More information on yarn installation, check the documentation: https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/

yarn install after every Metronic updates released in order to install newly added or updated 3rd-party plugins.

Gulp is a toolkit that helps you automate your time-consuming tasks in development workflow. To install gulp globally.

gulp globally, remove it to make sure old version doesn't collide with new
gulp-cli.

yarn upgradeI run a team of 20 product managers, developers, QA and UX resources. Previously we designed everything ourselves. For our newest platform we tried out Metronic. I cannot overestimate the impact Metronic has had. It's accelerated development 3x and reduced QA issues by 50%. If you add up the reduced need for design time/resources, the increase in dev speed and the reduction in QA, it's probably saved us $100,000 on this project alone, and I plan to use it for all platforms moving forward.
The flexibility of the design has also allowed us to put out a better looking & working platform and reduced my headaches by 90%. Thank you KeenThemes!
