Getting Set Up
There are a few things you need to ensure you have installed, in order to be ready for this course.
Node.js
You’ll need a relatively recent version (v4.5 or newer, v7 ideally) of node.js installed. On OS X, a great way of doing this without disturbing your existing dev environment is to install NVM. Installation instructions are here.
You’ll know everything is set up properly when you can run
nvm --version # might look like "0.31.4"
node --version # might look like "v7.7.3"
Visual Studio Code
Particularly if you’ve never tried it before, you should install Microsoft Visual Studio Code. Some fantastic extensions that I use regularly include
- vscode-icons
- Sublime Text Keymap - Install if you’re used to sublime text keyboard shortcuts
Check out and setup the project for this workshop
git clone [email protected]:mike-works/web-security-fundamentals.git websec
cd websec
npm install
Troubleshooting
What if I have an older version of Node.js?
You may run into problems during the workshop! An easy way to deal with this is to...
- install nvm by running
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.4/install.sh | bash
or Wget:
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.4/install.sh | bash
- then restart your terminal
- then run
nvm install stable
nvm use stable
nvm alias default stable
What if I get an error like Please install sqlite3 package manually?
If you use OS X, it can be installed with homebew
brew install sqlite3
Windows and Linux users, please install the appropriate official release.
