Text Editor / Web IDE - choose one -

Git. On Windows you need to install git from https://git-scm.com/. It's already included on macOS and Linux. On Mac you might want to install the XCode Command Line Tools to make sure you get the latest version.
- After you're all set with git, go straight ahead to this tutorial, if you don't know git.
- Watch this video to get you all up and running with git.
- We recommend generating an SSH key and cloning this repository via SSH.
- This article is also a recommended read when working with git.
NodeJS (+ npm). https://nodejs.org/en/.
- MacOS: preferably via Homebrew (or MacPorts if you already have that). The package from the NodeJS website also works.
- Linux: the package in the repos are often a bit outdated, so please look for other ways to get the latest stable version
- Windows: the version from the NodeJS website should work.
Once you have npm running (check via npm -v), install these packages (you can do all that from the Git-Bash):
- Express Generator: npm install -g express-generator
MongoDB. Follow the installation instructions.
