Be sure to install Git for Windows from the link below with the following install setting:
– http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list
– Use Windows Command Line Interface
– Check Git is in your path
– Try to execute the git command
Now create a folder where you would want to create node blog i.e. (C:AzureNodeprojectsavkashblog)
Run the git command to clone howtonode repo https://github.com/creationix/howtonode.org
| C:Azurenodeprojectsavkashblog>git clone https://github.com/creationix/howtonode.org

It is always good idea to take a look at package.json to see the dependency and if there are any dependency then you can run “npm install –d” to install all the dependencies for your project.
Reading the Package.json as below:
| {
“author”: “Tim Caswell <tim@creationix.com> (http://creationix.com/)”, “name”: “howtonode.org”, “description”: “The popular blog howto.no.de”, “version”: “0.0.0”, “homepage”: “http://howto.no.de/”, “repository”: { “type”: “git”, “url”: “git://github.com/creationix/howtonode.org.git” }, “engines”: { “node”: “>=0.4.0” }, “dependencies”: { “stack”: “>=0.0.3”, “creationix”: “>=0.1.2”, “wheat”: “>=0.2.0”, “cluster”: “>=0.6.4” }, “devDependencies”: {} } |
Based on above you can see there are 4 dependencies 1) stack 2) creationix 3) wheat 4) cluster
Now you can run “npm install –d” command to install all the dependencies.
| C:Azurenodeprojectsavkashbloghowtonode.org>npm install -d

If you look serverserver.js, you will see the web server start code is already there as below:
| // Just a basic server setup for this site
var Stack = require(‘stack’), Creationix = require(‘creationix’), Http = require(‘http’);
Http.createServer(Stack( Creationix.log(), require(‘wheat’)(process.env.JOYENT ? process.env.HOME + “/howtonode” : __dirname +”/..”) )).listen(process.env.JOYENT ? 80 : 8080); |
Because all the articles are stored in article folder so edit
skinindex.haml as below:
| #main.index
:each article in articles.slice(0,15) .article .author %img{src:gravitar(article.author.email, 30)} By #{article.author.name} .date{title: article.date}&= formatDate(article.date, “%Y.%m.%d”) %h3 %a{href: “/articles/” + article.name}&= article.title = intro(article.markdown) %a.more{href: “/articles/” + article.name} Read more…
#sidebar .aside = markdownEncode(description) .bubble %h4 Articles %ul :each article in articles.slice(0,20) %li %a{href: “/articles/” + article.name}&=article.title &=” by ” + article.author.name :if article.node %span.versiontag&= article.node .bubble= markdownEncode(description) |
