From the course: Angular: Cloud-Powered Apps with Firebase

What you should know

- [Instructor] This course will assume a basic understanding of Angular. The Angular CLI assumes that you have Node, npm, and Git installed on your system. If you're unfamiliar with Angular, I recommend you watch our Essential Training Course for Angular. If you don't have Git installed on your system, go ahead and download it from git-scm.com. We will be using Node to install packages, and it's needed for the Angular CLI. If you don't know how to use npm, I recommend you watch our course on npm the Node Package Manager. I'll also be using Visual Studio Code as my main editor. You can download it from code.visualstudio.com. Its native TypeScript support, intelligent JavaScript code editing, and cross-platform support makes it the perfect choice for Angular development. If you're interested in the theme I am using, it is the Night Owl theme by Sarah Drasner. Lastly, we are going to spend some time in the terminal. If you're on a Mac, I recommend downloading and installing iTerm2, version three and using a shell like ZSH and the Oh My Zsh framework, as it provides you with tooling that will make you more productive at your terminal. If you're on a Windows machine, I highly recommend you check out Cmder as an alternative to the Command prompt.
