Jasmine can be using [[IT/AD/Node.JS/]].


</panel>


## Process ##

Use [[IT/AD/NPM/]] to install it:

<sxh>
npm install -g jasmine
</sxh>

Now that it's installed, you can initialize your project's folder:

* [[IT/AD/Jasmine/HowTo/Initialize your Project Directory]]

CD to your projects directory and `init` it:

<sxh>
cd c:\Spikes\Jasmine
jasmine init
</sxh>

It will create a directory, putting a `jasmine.json` file in it:

<sxh>
/specs/
/specs/support/
/specs/support/jasmine.json

</sxh>


which defines which folder contain the specs and the file name format:

<sxh>
{
  "spec_dir": "spec",
  "spec_files": [
    "**/*[sS]pec.js"
  ],
  "helpers": [
    "helpers/**/*.js"
  ]
}
</sxh>
