Getting Started \ Locally on Mac OSX

1. Installing your editor

Firstly, go and install VSCode for MacOSX .

Finally, you'll need to add VS Code to your PATH variable if you're using <strong> MacOS </strong>. To do this, press Cmd+Shift+P then type “PATH” into the command palette, choosing the option to install the <code> code command in your PATH.

2. Installing git

Open the terminal app, then run git , which will trigger a prompt to download extra features. Wait for this to download.

3. Installing NodeJS

Now that we've done the heavy lifting in step (2), we will go install NodeJS.

The most reliable strategy is to use a tool called NVM .

1. Copy the command listed in the installation instructions and paste it into a terminal.
2. After executing the installation command, close and reopen your terminal.
3. Run nvm install 20, which will download and install the correct version of NodeJS.
4. After it completes, run the node --version command to check if it installed correctly. You should see something like "v20.12.2" as the output
