In this tutorial, we will walk you through setting up your development environment. We'll cover the installation of git, node.js, and ensuring that everything is properly configured.
💡 If you have prior knowledge of Node.js, npm, and Git, feel free to skip this guide and proceed directly to the main section.
There are various methods to install Node on your machine. We recomend to use nvm for Mac or nvm-windows.
Install & Update Script
To install or update nvm, you should run the install script. To do that, you may either download and run the script manually, or use the following cURL or Wget command:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.3/install.sh | bashwget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.3/install.sh | bashRunning either of the above commands downloads a script and runs it. The script clones the nvm repository to ~/.nvm, and attempts to add the source lines from the snippet below to the correct profile file (~/.bash_profile, ~/.zshrc, ~/.profile, or ~/.bashrc).
export NVM_DIR="$([ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}" ] && printf %s "${HOME}/.nvm" || printf %s "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm")" [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
After installation, you may need to reload your terminal, and than set your node.js version:
nvm use 18Follow this steps from nvm-windows documentation: https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows#installation--upgrades
You can also follow this guide from npm Docs
Once you’re done, run node --version on a terminal to check your installation:
node --versionCheck your version running following command in your terminal:
git -vIf you see your version, e.g. git version 2.40.1 you already have git installed. If you don't see a version number, please follow the instructions provided on the official website
After installation, check your version again.
We recommend using Visual Studio Code.
🎉 Great! You're all set now. Feel free to proceed to the main section.
