Setting Up Your Environment¶

Please note that we only guarantee the released sample code as a verified and functional app building environment. If you find a critical issue with your app, you can use the same environment as our released sample code to build your app and test again.

Install Node - https://nodejs.org/en/¶

Steps¶

To start, we recommend installing NVM (Node Version Manager). Please refer to the NVM Repository to install NVM.
Next in your terminal, install Node using nvm install 10.
```
nvm install 10
```
You can now check and make sure Node and npm have been installed.
```
node --version && npm --version
```
For future use, you should set your default Node version with nvm alias default and nvm use default.
```
nvm alias default 10
```
```
nvm use default
```

Install Ionic - https://ionicframework.com/¶

Steps¶

Install Ionic using npm install -g cordova ionic.
```
npm install -g cordova ionic
```
You can now check your version using ionic info.
```
ionic info
```

Note

You may see this update message after running ionic info. If you want the Ionic CLI to check for CLI updates automatically choose "Yes".
