Visual Studio 2015 Hot Towel Angular

Question

I have installed Visual Studio 2015 RC1. I am trying to install the Hot Towel Angular Package. When I install it I receive the following messages in the output window:

Installing NuGet package HotTowel.Angular.2.3.3. Successfully installed 'HotTowel.Angular.2.3.3' to ValueInvestingMentor.Web. ========== Finished ========== Restoring packages for C:\Users\kruerj\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\ValueInvestingMentor\src\ValueInvestingMentor.Web\project.json Writing lock file C:\Users\kruerj\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\ValueInvestingMentor\src\ValueInvestingMentor.Web\project.lock.json Restore complete, 1741ms elapsed

When I look at my project.json file it looks like this:

{
  "webroot": "wwwroot",
  "version": "1.0.0-*",

  "dependencies": {
    "Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc": "6.0.0-beta4",
    "Microsoft.AspNet.Server.IIS": "1.0.0-beta4",
    "Microsoft.AspNet.Server.WebListener": "1.0.0-beta4",
    "Microsoft.AspNet.StaticFiles": "1.0.0-beta4",
    "HotTowel.Angular": "2.3.3"
  },

  "commands": {
    "web": "Microsoft.AspNet.Hosting --server Microsoft.AspNet.Server.WebListener --server.urls http://localhost:5000"
  },

  "frameworks": {
    "dnx451": { },
    "dnxcore50": { }
  },

  "exclude": [
    "wwwroot",
    "node_modules",
    "bower_components"
  ],
  "publishExclude": [
    "node_modules",
    "bower_components",
    "**.xproj",
    "**.user",
    "**.vspscc"
  ]
}

However, no files are installed in my project.

I Have tried it with an "Empty" Web Application project and also with a "Web API" and an "MVC" project. None of them are successful.

What am I doing wrong?

I have used it in Visual Studio 2012 without any problems at all.

I encountered similar issue when I am installing the HotTowel angular through Nuget. Here's what I have done in order to make the HotTowel angular application work with VS2015 RC

• Empty WebApplication with WebApi support Installed

• HotTowel.Angular.2.3.3 for SPA from Nuget

While installing the above package, some of the scripts are not being copied automatically. So, added them manually. List of those files are

• angular-route.js
• angular-animate.js
• angular-sanitize.js

You can get the external libraries through google very easily. Hope it will resolve your issue.
