Somebody could mention that after installing platformio-ide-terminal to open the console click + on left bottom corner)

[allankarseth]

I looked for how to set up a proper on-computer environment alternative to c9 for like three hours. This solved it. Thank you. I did not find any useful way of combining the Node.js app with Atom before this.

[armaandhanji]

you're a brilliant teacher, please don't stop making coding videos

[formulaintuition]

For mac users when doing node "path" you might have to write out the entire path for example
node

oh my god I've been trying to figure out how to get the command line open in atom forever and could not figure it out! Already loving this tutorial series, great quality :) easy subs

[akshaybodla]

oh my god a no man's sky background. that game was an emotional rollercoaster

[workfromhomedev]

If the terminal does not recognize node command...just run atom in administrator

You're good at what you're doing. Great teacher.

Quick note: LTS which means "Long Term Support" doesn't mean that current is not a stable version but means it does have a longer support

[crasherboys]

If your code doesn't run but you don't get any errors its probably because you haven't saved!

[jiovannirosario]

If you dont see a + sign on the left bottom corner, look for a red icon on the right bottom, click it and it will tell you about a ""incompatible native modules". Run the rebuild and you should be good!

[SvetoslavKostadinov]

LTS stands for Long Term Support, not the Latest Stable Version. :)
Your tutorial is great!
Keep doing that! :)

[yasmineker]

hello, thank you for those tutorials they are amazing !

[dylanswoope]

I have to say I really dig your background. Care to share the artist's name? Also, I find your tutorials very helpful and easy to follow.

[raviullur]

The tutorial is inspiring. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I've installed nodejs and also atom. Atom command prompt (installed from 'install' option) is working successfully, it shows the version of nodejs. However, when I tried to run the program printing the message on console.log, I don't see any output. I am on the right directory. Do I need to set path/ environment variables? Please suggest

[mohamedelfodilihaddaden]

Don't forget to refresh atom and hit the + on the bottom left (after refreshing)

[kristypolymath]

I so, so badly want to be able to just focus on two core programming languages: JavaScript and Python. JavaScript for the browser, Python for the desktop. With me being so open-minded, it has been utter hell trying to figure out which technologies I should focus my time on learning. I can't be alone with this predicament :(

[henrikinaski]

Hi man, I like your tutorials, they are very useful!!!

I use Sublime Text 3, and I have a problem to connect nodeJS with editor, and also have a problem with command line.
Do you have any suggestions about that? Some solution that wolud solve the problem?

[autigersc]

some folks will need to restart Explorer in the Task Manager to get the CMD verification
