• [Instructor] I have created a GitHub repo at the URL below that you can use to pull a copy of the project files used in this course. If you have a GitHub account, feel free to fork the repo to be able to work on your own version of it if you like. If not, you can still clone or download a ZIP of the project code from the repo without needing a GitHub account. The project code has a README.md file that contains a simple walkthrough for setting up your environment and the commands to run to work on the code. To run the project locally, you will need a few things installed, beginning with Git. You can find Git on the official site at the URL below. If you have not used Git before, I would recommend checking out the course Learning Git and GitHub by Ray Villalobos. The project code requires Node and npm to be installed locally. You can visit the official Node.js site at the link below for details on downloading and installation. If you are unfamiliar with npm and how it works, I recommend you check out the course Learning npm the Node Package Manager with Emmanuel Henri. The project code makes use of the Angular CLI, a utility provided by the Angular team at Google that handles the build and testing pipelines needed for Angular applications as well as development tooling, like the ability to run a local dev server to see the application running in the browser. While this course will not cover anything specific to the angular CLI other than the ng serve command that will be used to run the project in the browser, I do recommend checking out the course Learning the Angular CLI by Victor Mejia as a great resource for learning the features and functionality of the Angular CLI. The project code for the GitHub repository has a branch for each video that contains all the code previously created during the course up to that point. So at any point you can switch to the branch that matches the video and be working with the exact same code that is covered during the lesson. Once you get the code set up, you will want to run the command npm install to pull down the dependencies needed by the project. Only one npm install call is needed to get the Node modules installed for the entire project. And from there, you can simply switch branches to follow along with the project files for each video. And if you're viewing this course on a mobile device or a set-top device, that's okay. You can still follow along by watching how I use the files. Finally, I'm going to be using Visual Studio Code during this course, but there is nothing specific to that editor and the material I will cover, and you can feel free to use whatever editor you like.
