Configuring Your Environment

To get started, we highly recommend having the following tools installed:

• Visual Studio Code
• Node.js (NOTE: please install the LTS version as we can't validate current will always work)
• git

Verify your environment works

Open a command line and run these:

• Run node -v to check your node version! It should probably be 6.x.x.
• Run npm -v to check your npm version. If your version is below 5.x.x, run npm install -g npm to update it.
• Go to a folder and run code . to open VSCode in a folder. If you don't have VSCode in your path, you can open VSCode and press f1, type path, and select the Install 'code' command in PATH option.
• Run git --version to make sure you have git.
