Getting Started
===============
1. Install [Node.js](http://nodejs.org) 7.0.0 or higher
2. Clone this repository
Run this at the terminal:
```shell
git clone https://github.com/rtfeldman/elm-0.19-workshop.git
cd elm-workshop
```
3. Start the server
We'll be running a local server for our Elm UI to use. Let's get it set up.
```shell
cd server
npm install
npm start
```
If the server started up successfully, you should see
`> moleculer-runner services` at the end of your terminal.
We're going to leave this server running and not touch it again for the duration
of the workshop, so **don't close it** until the workshop is over!
## Build the Elm UI
Leave the existing terminal running, and open a **second** terminal.
In the new termnal, `cd` into the `elm-workshop/server/` directory again.
Then run this to build the Elm code for the first time:
```shell
elm make src/Main.elm --output=../server/public/elm.js
```
Now open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)
in your browser. You should see this in it:
If things aren’t working, the instructor will be happy to help!
