###SPA application:

1. Install node and npm (https://nodejs.org/en/)

The SPA application is embedded in the MVC application, in the /app directory.

/dist - The output directory of the gulp build (equivalent to /bin). It serves as the root path of the SPA.
/build - Build configurations
/src - The source files for the SPA. This is where you do development.
/test - The tests for the SPA

The SPA also owns the .json and .js files in the /app directory.
