Required Toolkit

To do the Break-Out exercises during the tutorials and to complete all assignments, make sure to install these tools as soon as possible.

• Text Editor / Web IDE - choose one -

  • VS Code
  • Atom
  • Sublime
  • WebStorm (Students are eligible for a free version)

• Git. On Windows you need to install git from https://git-scm.com/. It's already included on macOS and Linux. On Mac you might want to install the XCode Command Line Tools to make sure you get the latest version.

  • After you're all set with git, go straight ahead to this tutorial, if you don't know git.
  • Watch this video to get you all up and running with git.
  • We recommend generating an SSH key and cloning this repository via SSH.
  • This article is also a recommended read when working with git.

• NodeJS (+ npm). https://nodejs.org/en/.

  • MacOS: preferably via Homebrew (or MacPorts if you already have that). The package from the NodeJS website also works.
  • Linux: the package in the repos are often a bit outdated, so please look for other ways to get the latest stable version
  • Windows: the version from the NodeJS website should work.

• Once you have npm running (check via npm -v), install these packages (you can do all that from the Git-Bash):

  • Express Generator: npm install -g express-generator

• MongoDB. Follow the installation instructions.
