Installing Git, Node.js, and Docker

“

- [Narrator] In the next few videos, I will walk you through setting up your development environment for this course. See it, like a checklist to make sure you won't get stuck later. So first of all, of course, we need Node.js and there I would just recommend installing the current LTS, means long-term supported version that you see here on the nodejs.org website. Then you will also need a Git client on your system to acquire the exercise files from GitHub. And you see when you go to git-scm.com that you will be presented with selections for your particular operating system. As we will also use MongoDB and Redis and we will use Docker to run them. You will need to have Docker installed on your system. Here again, go to the respective website, this is docker.com and download the respective installation files for your system. Once you have installed all of that on your system, you can check it in your console or terminal by running node -v, docker -v, and git -v. Maybe the versions you see are different, but if the output looks somewhat like this, you are all set.
