Make sure you have at least Node 4.0. Anything from 4.0 to the latest stable (6.x) will work.
node -v
> v4.0.0
If you don’t, install the latest version.
If you have an existing older Node installation, I recommend using n to quickly switch between versions:
npm install -g n
n latest
node -v
> v6.2.0
Note: Don’t run
npmcommands withsudo. This usually screws everything up.
We also recommend that you use npm 3.x so your Babel installation doesn’t weigh a ton.
It comes by default on Node 5.x and higher, but if you have an older version, please update it:
npm -v
> 2.14.2
npm i -g npm@latest
npm -v
> 3.9.3
Note: Don’t run
npmcommands withsudo. This usually screws everything up.
Verify that everything works by running
git clone https://github.com/gaearon/workshop.git
cd workshop
npm install
npm start
You should be able to open http://localhost:3000/ and see a small todo app there:
Everybody loves todo lists, amiright?
As a bonus, you can also try running the linter:
npm run lint
It should produce empty output because we have no lint errors yet.
