Ryan Chenkie: [0:00] This course assumes that you have done at least a little bit of work with React and Node in the past. It also assumes that you have a Node environment set up. If you don't have yourself set up with Node, you can go to nodejs.org to get yourself situated.

[0:14] We will need a couple global installs in this course. One of them will be used to run our servers and that tool is called Nodemon. To get that, you can do npm install and we'll install globally Nodemon.

[0:29] Another tool we will need for one of the modules is going to be the Gatsby CLI. To get that, you can do npm install -g gatsby-cli.

[0:42] Once you've got those two, you should be good to go to get started.
