Initial Setup Guide - (for Linux/MacOS)

This is a GitHub template, use it to start your own project.

Pre-requisites

This project requires these packages before setup;

  • Node -> >=20.9.0 (from v20.9.0 upwards)
  • Yarn -> v4.1.1
  • Operating System - Linux/MacOS

This project runs on a specific version of yarn - @4.1.1. If you are already on this version of yarn, and your node version meets the minimum requirement, you may skip to the Getting Started section.

Installing/Updating required packages

  1. If you are using a different version, consider using nvm to handle different versions of node and yarn on your computer.

  2. If you already have nvm, please skip to next step. If you do not already have nvm installed, you can follow a more detailed instructions here on nvm github repo.

  3. Once you have installed and verified your nvm installation, you can now install the specified versions of node and yarn.

If you are already on the minimum node version (v20.9.0), you may skip to step 5

  1. Run nvm install 21.7.1 to install the specified version - 21.7.1 and nvm use 21.7.1 to use this installed version.

For the purpose of this documentation, we are using node version 21.7.1, however you may replace this with any version that meets the minimum node version, as specified above.

  • Verify the currently active node installation on your nvm by running nvm which node. You should see value like {user_path}/.nvm/versions/node/v21.7.1/bin/node

corepack should already be installed globally, verify this with npm list -g

  1. Enable corepack using corepack enable

  2. Add the specific version of yarn using corepack install -g yarn@4.1.1. For more details, check the yarn docs

Note: Yarn will be installed globally so make sure it doesn't affect other projects which require a different version of yarn. By using nvm, each node version you install will have it's own global packages so you can change to different versions of yarn.

  1. Restart your terminal and verify you are on the correct versions of node and yarn
