Getting Started

There are a few tools that are suggested for working with this project. Please install them before starting to work.

1. git - Download and install.
2. Node.js - Download and install.
3. Visual Studio Code - Download and install.

You may use other tools if you are familiar with them, but this guide will assume you are using the suggested tools to get started.

Creating a directory for your project

The code for your project needs a place on your computer for you to work with it effectively. If you don't already have a place that you would like to put this code, let's create a new folder on your desktop.

1. Right click on your desktop and find the option for New -> Folder. Give it a name like code, development, projects, or whatever makes sense to you.
2. Next, right click on the folder that you just created and choose Open with Code

At this point you should have the project open in Visual Studio Code.

Installing the current version of the project

1. At the top of Visual Studio Code, choose Terminal -> New Terminal from the menu.
2. A terminal (command line) appears, with the directory of your projects currently selected.
3. Type or copy and paste the following into the terminal and press enter: git clone https://github.com/justinbcain/stem2019.git

If all went correctly, you should now have a copy of the code in a directory called stem2019.

4. In the terminal, type or copy and paste into the terminal npm install

This may take a little while, and when it finishes, should have downloaded all of the other code needed to use this project.
