Workshop Setup

First, we recommend that you star this repo so you get notifications of any future updates.

The required software for this workshop is:

1. Git
2. Node.js and npm
3. A clone of this repository and it's dependencies

macOS

We chose to list the macOS instructions first, but only for alphabetical reasons. 😁

1. Git should already be installed. You should verify this by opening the terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal) and running the following command:

git --version

This should indicate the version of Git that is installed on your machine.

2. We recommend installing Node.js and npm using homebrew. Homebrew is a package manager for macOS, and it simplifies installing packages like node.

If you do not have homebrew installed, you can install homebrew by executing the following in your terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal):

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

After installing homebrew, run the following in your terminal to install the latest stable version of Node.js and npm:

brew update
brew install node

Verify that node was installed via the following command:

node -v

Verify that npm was installed via the following command:

npm -v

3. Finally, clone this repository locally and install the necessary dependencies.

When you run the following clone command a directory named "advanced-rxjs" will be created in your current working directory. You will need to change the current working directory in the terminal to the advanced-rxjs directory using the cd command: http://www.linfo.org/cd.html.

git clone https://github.com/blove/advanced-rxjs.git
cd advanced-rxjs
npm install

The first command clones the repository, then we change directory into the newly created "advanced-rxjs" directory, and finally, we run the npm install command to install all of the necessary dependencies.

Windows

1. Windows does not have Git installed by default. First, check if you already have the Git installed by checking your applications for "Gitbash".

If the "Git Bash" application is not installed, go to https://gitforwindows.org and download the installer.

More advanced users may wish to use Chocolatey, a package manager for windows, to install Git: https://chocolatey.org/packages/git. Note, if you are new to the terminal environment, and using package managers in a terminal, we do not suggest you use Chocolatey. The link to gitforwindows.org above is your best bet.

2. Next, install Node version 12 from https://nodejs.org

3. Finally, use the "Git Bash" application (not the native command prompt application) to clone the repository and install the necessary dependencies. When you run the following clone command a directory named "angular-fundamentals" will be created in your current working directory. If you want to change to another directory to place this folder, use the cd command: http://www.linfo.org/cd.html

Open Git Bash and run the following commands at the prompt:

git clone https://github.com/blove/advanced-rxjs.git
cd advanced-rxjs
npm install

Verify Installation

Verify the project installation by executing the following command in the terminal on macOS or in Git Bash on Windows:

npm start

Then open up a browser and browse to http://localhost:4200 and make sure that the website is running.
