- I suggest installing 'ESLint', as I've included a linting setup in this repo.
- Node is slightly different between windows and mac.
- Familiarize yourself with basic terminal commands. On Windows, we're talking about
Powershelland on Mac we're talking aboutterminal. There are upgrades to both.
- Windows has a very cool one called cmder
- On Mac most people like iTerm2
- Learn your basic commands in the terminal! You will be using these all the time in the future. Commands on Mac. Commands on Windows.
- Practice using these commands to navigate your filesystem!
- Make a folder for all your VSCode for this class. Open that folder in VSCode. File -> Open -> Select Folder. You will see the all the files in that folder if you use the explorer (top button on the left in VSCode).
- Open the Integrated Terminal through -> View -> Integrated Terminal
- Type the following in that terminal and hit enter (in succession):
npm install -g yarnthen,yarn - Go to 'Extensions' in VSCode (the bottom button on the far left hand side of the window. It looks like a box.) and search for 'ESLint' and install it.
- In the terminal run
npm install -g nodemon@latest - Navigate to your VSCode folder. Use
lsordirto ensure you see all the files here. REMEMBER TO BE SAVING FILES WITH.JSAT THE END. In your terminal of choice, runnodemon -q ${location of your file}. You will see the terminal display either nothing - or whateverconsole.log's exist within your file. Every time you save - it will reprint results to the- terminal!

You can make a Github account and use it to go to the issues tab on this page and file issues with the README or any part of this setup/codebase that isn't working for you!
