- [Instructor] The one major challenge in modern dev is the versions keep changing very, very frequently. So I wanted to give you an introduction to my developer machine, what I'm recording this course on, so that way, if new versions come out later and you'll be able to see exactly what I recorded with and I think it'll be helpful in the future. So I'm recording everything on a Windows 10 VM. You can follow along on a Mac or Linux VM. The steps are 99.99% identical. If there's some very minor difference, I will mention it as I go. However, all the code will work on either platform. I'm using a terminal called Commander. That's what you see on the screen right now. Of course on a Windows machine, you can follow along using PowerShell or Git Bash as well. The reason I prefer to use Commander is because it gets me the closest to Mac or Linux terminals. It's not identical but it's pretty close. So I have also already installed node.js version v8.9.4. So version v8 is what is compatible…
