Prerequisites & Setup Steps
- Install the latest LTS version of Node. How to install Node.
-
Verify you have git on your machine
Most machines come pre-loaded with git. 🎉
To verify you have
git
, open up your terminal and run:which git
This should return a path of where git is installed. If the command returns
git not found
, we will need to install git on your machine. -
Setup a Netlify account.
If you don't already have an Netlify account, let's get one setup.
-
Open up your terminal and run:
npm install netlify-cli -g
-
Connect the Netlify CLI with your Netlify account.
Open up your terminal and run:
netlify login
-
Verify the Netlify CLI works on your machine
Open up your terminal and run:
netlify --help
This should return the list of commands from the CLI tool.
Bonus setup:
- Install postman for quick & easy testing of endpoints we deploy
- It's also recommended that you use nvm (node version manager) just in case you need to change versions of node for the workshop.
