Setup

Software Used in the Workshop

The following are steps to install the software that is used to develop the workshop example.  Don't worry, it's all free.

 1. Install Git:

B. Install VS Code:
  • If you have a different code-editing environment that you prefer to use, you may be able to use that one; however, we will be relying on a VS Code feature to host an HTML file locally during development. See the next step for details
  • Go to: https://code.visualstudio.com/
  • Follow the instructions for installing the VS Code editor.
C. Install the "Live Server" extension to VS code:
  • From the VS code menu bar, choose "View...Extensions".  This will bring up the "Extensions" pane on the right side of the editor. 
  •  In the search field atop the extensions pain, enter "Live Server"  Click the link to the "Live Server" extension that appears at the top of the list.  This will show a page with information about the extension.  
  • Find and click the "Install" button to install the extension.
