Although not necessarily required at this time, we recommend that you install the Webstorm IDE, as we'll use it throughout the book.
Note that we are using the Webstorm IDE with an integrated environment with terminal, GitHub version control, and Grunt to ease our development. However, you are absolutely free to choose your own environment.
Note
From now on, when we mention terminal, we are referring to terminal Integrated WebStorm, but you can access it directly by the chosen independent editor, terminal for Mac and Linux and Command Prompt for Windows.
Webstorm is very useful when you are using a Windows environment, because Windows Command Prompt does not have the facility to copy and paste like Mac OS X on the terminal window.
