## Install Node.js
Make sure Node.js is installed on your computer.
Install it from [nodejs.org/download](http://nodejs.org/download)
### Install `javascripting` with `npm`
Open your terminal and run this command:
```
npm install --global javascripting
```
The `--global` option installs this module globally so that you can run it as a command in your terminal.
## Run the workshop
Open your terminal and run the following command:
```
javascripting
```
You'll see the menu:
Navigate the menu with the up & down arrow keys.
Choose a challenge by hitting enter.
### Take a look at this gif that shows the first challenge:
In the gif I'm using the command line editor `nano` ([here are some basic usage tips for nano](https://github.com/sethvincent/dev-envs-book/blob/master/chapters/05-editors.md#nano)).
You can use any editor you like.
[atom](http://atom.io) or [brackets](http://brackets.io/) are both good options.
