|
| 12 | ## Install Node.js
|
| 13 |
|
| 14 | Make sure Node.js is installed on your computer.
|
| 15 |
|
| 16 | Install it from [nodejs.org/download](http://nodejs.org/download)
|
| 17 |
|
| 18 | ### Install `javascripting` with `npm`
|
| 19 |
|
| 20 | Open your terminal and run this command:
|
| 21 |
|
| 22 | ```
|
| 23 | npm install --global javascripting
|
| 24 | ```
|
| 25 |
|
| 26 | The `--global` option installs this module globally so that you can run it as a command in your terminal.
|
| 27 |
|
| 28 | > Having issues with installation? If you get an EACCESS error you can prefix the command with `sudo`, but also take a look at this npm documentation for fixing permissions so that you don't have to use `sudo`: https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions

|

|
| 50 | In the gif I'm using the command line editor `nano` ([here are some basic usage tips for nano](https://github.com/sethvincent/dev-envs-book/blob/master/chapters/05-editors.md#nano)).
|
| 51 |
|
| 52 | You can use any editor you like.
|

|
| 54 | [atom](http://atom.io) or [brackets](http://brackets.io/) are both good options.
