Install an IDE
We recommend Visual Studio Code or WebStorm - the CLI configures the debugger, linter, and type definitions specifically for them. You’ll get autocompletion, inline errors, and one-click debugging out of the box. Also works great with Claude Code and other AI assistants - type definitions are set up automatically so vibe coding just works.Install Node.js
If you want to write scripts in TypeScript (recommended), you’ll need Node.js installed. Download the LTS version and run the installer.If you only plan to write plain JavaScript, Node.js is not required -
but you’ll miss out on type checking, autocompletion, and the build
pipeline.
