npm install

5. Run the visual game editor

6. Open the folder with Visual Studio Code and start editing src/game-main.js.

Troubleshooting

Windows:

• You need to have Git for Windows to clone the git repository. If you don't, it will say something like this: 'git' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
• Opening a terminal can be done by opening the start menu and typing "bash" and opening the application Git Bash.
• If npm doesn't exist (the command npm install says that 'npm' is not recognized), you need to install Node.js. One easy way to go is via Scoop (see the section below).

Mac:

• On Mac, open a terminal by pressing Command+Space, type Terminal, Enter.
• Make sure that you have Homebrew, which you can download here.
  • Warning: the installation can be time consuming and require a good internet connection, so make sure that you do it early.
• If you don't have Node.js (npm install fails), type the following in the terminal:

brew install nvm
nvm install 8

Installing scoop and Node.js (Windows)

• Open powershell (start menu, type Powershell), then

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -scope CurrentUser
iwr -useb get.scoop.sh | iex

• This installs Scoop, which is a package manager for Windows, allowing you to install and remove easily open source software. It's an equivalent to homebrew on Mac. Then type:

scoop install nvm
nvm install 8
nvm use 8.16.2
