This is because it makes it very easy to install different versions of Node in isolated environments that don’t require users to <a href="https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">change their permissions</a> when installing packages. Find instructions on how to install NVM <a href="https://github.com/creationix/nvm/blob/master/README.md#install-script" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.</p> 785 </p> 786 </div> 787 788 789 790 <h3 id="IPFS-Optional"><a href="#IPFS-Optional" class="headerlink" title="IPFS (Optional)"></a>IPFS (Optional)</h3><p>IPFS can be used to distribute our application’s content on the decentralized IPFS nodes. This can be skipped in case this isn’t planned, however we do recommend it. Checkout IPFS’ <a href="https://docs.ipfs.io/guides/guides/install/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">installation guide</a> to learn how to install IPFS on our local machine.</p> 791 <p>To verify that the installation was successful, simply run the following command:</p> 792 <figure class="highlight plain"><table><tr><td class="code"><pre><span class="line">$ ipfs --version</span><br></pre></td></tr></table></figure> 793 794 <p>This outputs something like</p> 795 <figure class="highlight plain"><table><tr><td class="code"><pre><span class="line">$ ipfs version 0.4.17</span><br></pre></td></tr></table></figure> 796 797 <h3 id="Ethereum-Client-Optional"><a href="#Ethereum-Client-Optional" class="headerlink" title="Ethereum Client (Optional)"></a>Ethereum Client (Optional)</h3><p>Embark can spin up an Ethereum node for us. To make this happen, an Ethereum client has to be installed on our machine as well. Embark already comes with <a href="https://truffleframework.com/ganache" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ganache CLI</a>, a blockchain node emulator, which is accessible via <a href="embark_commands.html#simulator">Embark’s simulator</a> command.</p> 798 <p>In case we want to run a real node, <a href="https://geth.ethereum.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">geth</a> is a pretty good one. Check out the <a href="https://ethereum.github.io/go-ethereum/install/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">installation guide</a> for our platform and verify our installation with:</p> 799 <figure class="highlight plain"><table><tr><td class="code"><pre><span class="line">$ geth version</span><br></pre></td></tr></table></figure> 800 801 <p>Which should result in an output that looks like this (note that the exact version numbers may be different):</p> 802 <figure class="highlight plain"><table><tr><td class="code"><pre><span class="line">Geth</span><br><span class="line">Version: 1.8.15-stable</span><br><span class="line">Git Commit: 89451f7c382ad2185987ee369f16416f89c28a7d</span><br><span class="line">Architecture: amd64</span><br><span class="line">Protocol Versions: [63 62]</span><br><span class="line">Network Id: 1</span><br><span class="line">Go Version: go1.10.4</span><br><span class="line">Operating System: darwin</span><br><span class="line">GOPATH=</span><br><span class="line">GOROOT=/Users/travis/.gimme/versions/go1.10.4.darwin.amd64</span><br></pre></td></tr></table></figure> 803 804 <h2 id="Installing-Embark"><a href="#Installing-Embark" class="headerlink" title="Installing Embark"></a>Installing Embark</h2><p>Alright, let’s install Embark so we can build our first application. As mentioned earlier, if anything is unclear or you run into problems, make sure to reach out to us on our dedicated channels, <a href="https://github.com/embarklabs/embark/issues" target="_blank" rel="noopener">submit an issue on GitHub</a>, or take a look at our <a href="troubleshooting.html">troubleshooting guide</a>.</p> 805 <p>We can install Embark using the Node Package Manager (no worries, that one comes with Node), like this:</p> 806 <figure class="highlight plain"><table><tr><td class="code"><pre><span class="line">$ npm -g install embark</span><br></pre></td></tr></table></figure> 807 808 <p>After that, <code>embark</code> should be available as a global command in our terminal of choice. Let’s verify this by running the following command:</p> 809 <figure class="highlight plain"><table><tr><td class="code"><pre><span class="line">$ embark --version</span><br></pre></td></tr></table></figure> 810 811 <p>At the time of writing this guide, the output looked like this:</p> 812 <figure class="highlight plain"><table><tr><td class="code"><pre><span class="line">4.0.0</span><br></pre></td></tr></table></figure> 813 814 <p>Awesome!
