Bocoup jQuery Training

Pre-class setup

Before you arrive for the class, you must do the following:

Install Node.js

If you already have Node.js version v0.6.0 or higher (you can check this by running node --version at the command line), you can skip this step.

If not, visit nodejs.org and follow the installation instructions for your operating system; if you are familiar with package managers such as brew and apt, you can follow the instructions on installing with a package manager.

Note that on some systems, you may have to restart your computer after installation.

Install Grunt

Once you have installed Node.js, you will have a command line utility called npm. Open a command line prompt and type:

npm install -g grunt

This installs grunt, a command-line JavaScript build tool that will be used during the class.

Note that depending on your system, you may need to do sudo npm install -g grunt and provide your password. If you're unsure, try it without sudo first.

If you have any issues with either installation above, please contact us and we will be happy to help.
