What you need for this book

To experiment with the code, you will need a working installation of Node.js version 6 (or greater) and npm 3 (or greater). Some examples will require you to use a transpiler such as Babel. You will also need to be familiar with the command prompt, know how to install an npm package, and know how to run Node.js applications. You will also need a text editor to work with the code and a modern web browser.
