Getting Started

These instructions assume a level of comfort using the command line. On a Mac you can use the built in Terminal, and on a PC you have Command Prompt. You can simply use the code in the directions, and hit enter.

Before you start: Make sure the Node is installed on your machine. If you aren't sure if you have Node, open command line and type node -v to check. To install, follow the download instructions then confirm by running node -v

  1. Clone this repo to your computer: git clone https://github.com/smonette/data-viz_poc.git

  2. Install required packages: npm install This will create a folder in your project called "node_modules" where it installs any dependencies that are required in the "package.json".

  3. Start up the app: npm start. This will get the app running.

  4. Navigate to http://localhost:3000 in your browser.

Common Pitfalls

If your project is erroring, some good steps are:

  • confirming that all the packages in the package.json have been installed into node_modules.
  • checking how old your version of Node is. At this writing v4.4.5 is the most current
