installation

getting things set up!

what we'll be using

• NodeJS (v12.14.1)
• Visual Studio Code
  • this dope Elm plugin

Note: There have been problems reported for older versions of Node, so make sure you're using (at least) version 12.14.1!

installing elm tools

here is the command we run to install elm things:

npm install -g elm elm-format

The first package does the compiling. The second automatically makes your code look pretty so you can focus on making the web app look pretty!
