• Git :You'll want to have Git to simply clone and install our dspace-angular project (this is the in-development Angular UI for DSpace 7). If you don't have Git, you can choose to install either GitHub Desktop (which includes a GUI) or just plain Git. Any version of Git is fine.
• Node.js (version 6.x or 8.x recommended) : Required to build/run the Angular UI.
  • Note: Node.js will also automatically install npm (Node Package Manager). You shouldn't need to install that separately
• Yarn (version 1.3.x or above) : This is an easier to use, speedier package manager that works similar to npm (Node's package manager). It's currently required to build Angular UI.
• dspace-angular: You can now install dspace-angular itself using the command line.
  1. git clone https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular.git   (Pulls down the code into a dspace-angular folder on your local computer)
  2. cd dspace-angular (Move into the newly created dspace-angular folder)
  3. yarn install           (Install all local dependencies via yarn)
  4. yarn run watch       (Build and startup the DSpace Angular UI, while watching code for new changes.)
     1. Alternatively, you can also run "yarn start", but that command requires you restart to pick up local code changes.
  5. Assuming all went well, you should be able to go to http://localhost:3000 in your web browser and see the Angular UI homepage.
• Now, to easily follow along with the workshop code changes step-by-step, you may wish to create a branch for the workshop exercises
