Setup your development environment
Install Node.js
Go to this website and follow the instructions.
For consistency, we will use Node LTS (currently, as of Spring 2023, this is Node 18).
After installing, you should be able to run node
in your terminal and get a command-line interface to execute JavaScript code, line-by-line.
Install Yarn
For convenience, we assume you will use Yarn instead of npm. However, you can use either for the purposes of this project.
Go to this website and follow the instructions.
