Installing software

For us to successfully develop the Angular-Giphy App, we need to have Node.js installed (https://nodejs.org/en). We will be using NPM (https://www.npmjs.com) to download the required modules via the Angular CLI.

Once Node.js is installed, open a new command prompt/terminal and run the following:

npm install -g @angular/cli

This will go ahead and install the Angular CLI generator. That is all we would need to start developing our app.

Note: I have used angular-cli version 1.0.0 to build this app.
