Install learnyounode Globally
As per these directions, npm install -g learnyounode
This will use npm to globally install learnyounode.
Normally, it's not recommended to do npm install -g (installing packages globally) due to versioning changes possibly breaking 🤯 things. However, learnyounode is a utility that we want to be able to run from anywhere on our system - it's not 'scoped' or 'locked' to a specific version(s) for a specific project.
Check It ✅
Simply type learnyounode and you should get the main menu that looks like this:
Create a Directory to Organize Our Work
As we work through this series together, we'll be creating multiple files, so you should designate a directory 📁 for them.
Go to your home directory 📁 by entering cd in your terminal.
Then create your directory structure using: mkdir. If you need to make nested directories, you could use -p. For example: mkdir -p Code/learnyounode **(HINT: It's a convention to capitalize directory 📁 names - but 'learnyounode' is a bit different 🤓).
