As the final part of the command line installation, we will install the Yeoman SharePoint generator:
npm install -g @microsoft/generator-sharepoint
This command will fetch the Yeoman SharePoint generator from Microsoft. Again, it will take a while, but then we are ready to develop the SharePoint Framework web parts. However, because Notepad is not a very developer-friendly editor, we are going to install Visual Studio Code next.
You could, of course, use any code editor you feel most comfortable with, as SharePoint Framework does not have a requirement for strictly using Visual Studio Code.
