Install Your Front-End Development Tools

In this chapter, you will be installing:

  • Visual Studio Code, one of the world's most popular free development environments.

  • Chrome and Firefox, the two most widely-used web browsers.

Install Visual Studio Code

The first tool you'll be installing is Visual Studio Code, or VS Code, which will be your main workhorse tool.

First, you'll need to download the installer from https://code.visualstudio.com.

On Windows:

Once the download is complete, launch the installer from where you downloaded it, and accept the User Agreement. You can go through the rest of the installation without changing the default configuration.

If you do not see the Clone Git Repository option in the Start menu, follow the instructions in https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/github to install Git and create a GitHub account.

Now that VS Code is installed correctly, it's time to install your web browsers!

Install Your Browsers

An essential part of any front-end developer's toolkit is multiple browsers. Different browsers can display your sites and apps in different ways, and you'll often have to modify your code slightly for it to be compatible. To test your projects, you will need, at the very least, the two most widely used browsers: Chrome and Firefox.

Install Chrome

Head over to https://www.google.com/chrome/ and download Google Chrome for your operating system.

On Windows:

Launch the downloaded installer: the installation is completely automatic.

On macOS:

Open the downloaded file. Drag and drop the Chrome icon into the Applications folder in the Chrome window.
