Configuring the development toolchain

The recommended toolchain is the following:

• Node.js stable version
• Yarn package manager
• Visual Studio Code editor

Node JS

Begin by installing Node.js LTS (stable version).

Yarn

Activate the Corepack tool for managing versions of your package managers, such as Yarn.

# You might need to root level permissions (sudo -s) for this command
corepack enable

Update the global Yarn version

corepack prepare yarn@stable --activate

Run Yarn at the root folder of this repository to install all the dependencies.

yarn

Visual Studio Code

Now you can start working on your code. If you don't already have an IDE, go ahead and install Visual Studio Code.

Next steps

The next steps are:

• run a web server and a tunnel to localhost
• build a dev bundle and watch for source code changes
• create a website and connect it to the dev bundle
