- If using a Mac, also follow [these steps](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/mac#_launching-from-the-command-line) to install the `code` terminal command.
- React Developer Tools for [Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/react-developer-tools/fmkadmapgofadopljbjfkapdkoienihi?hl=en) or [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/react-devtools/)
-### Installing and running the project
+### 2. Installing and opening the project
-#### 1. Find a good terminal program--we're going to use it a LOT!
+- Open VS Code and then press `ctrl + ~` to open the built in terminal
+- Use the `cd` (change directory) command to find an appropriate place for your code
+- Type `git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/frontend-bootcamp.git` into the terminal, this will pull down a copy of the workshop code
+- Type `cd bootcamp` to change your current directory to the bootcamp folder
+- Type `npm install` to install of the project dependencies
+- Type `code ./` to open the bootcamp code in VS Code
+> If on a Mac, be sure you've followed [these steps](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/mac#_launching-from-the-command-line) first to make the `code` command available.
-- On a PC, you can do this with `cmd.exe` (or some terminal programs such as [cmder](https://cmder.net/))
+### 3. Run the "inner loop" build
-- On a Mac, bring up a Terminal (inside `/Applications/Utilities` folder).
+Now that we have VS Code open with the bootcamp code, open the terminal again `ctrl + ~` and your project should look like this
-- For those who really want something fancy looking: [hyper](https://hyper.is/)
-
-#### 2. Clone repo and npm install
-
-First, `cd` to a good place to put your copy of the Git repo.
-
-- Windows: run `cd %USERPROFILE%` (if using `cmd.exe`) or `cd ~` (if using Bash)
-- Mac: Terminal automatically opens to your user directory (`/Users/you`)
-
-Then run the following to make a local copy of the repo and get it ready to run:
-
-```
-git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/frontend-bootcamp.git
-cd frontend-bootcamp
-npm install
-```
-
-If you have VS Code installed, type the following command to open a VS Code window where you can browse and open all the files in the project. (If on a Mac, be sure you've followed [these steps](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/mac#_launching-from-the-command-line) first to make the `code` command available.)
-
-```
-code .

-#### 3. Run the "inner loop" build
-
-For steps 1-3 on Day 1:
+
+To run the dev "inner loop" for the first 3 lessons type:
```
npm run static
```
-For everything else:
+When we get to lesson 4, and React we will stop the static inner loop and start:
+1. press `ctrl + c` to stop the static inner loop
```
-npm start
+npm run start
```
