One click installation (recommended):

You can open these exercises in just a few seconds by clicking: Open in Codespaces (recommended) or Open in Gitpod.

Once you have VSCode open the LearnPack exercises should start automatically. If exercises don't run automatically you can try typing on your terminal: $ learnpack start

Local installation

1. Install learnpack, the package manager for learning tutorials and the html compiler plugin for learnpack, make sure you also have node.js 14+:

$ npm i learnpack -g
$ learnpack plugins:install learnpack-html

2. Download this particular exercises using learnpack and cd into the folder:

$ learnpack download css-layouts-tutorial-exercises
$ cd css-layouts-tutorial-exercises

Note: Once you finish downloading, you will find an "exercises" folder that contains all the exercises within.

3. Start the tutorial/exercises by running the following command at the same level were your learn.json file is:

$ npm i jest@24.8.0 -g
$ learnpack start

How are the exercises organized?

Each exercise is a small react application containing the following files:

1. index.css: your CSS code goes here.
2. index.html: your HTML code goes here.
3. README.md: contains exercise instructions.
4. test.js: you don't have to open this file, it contains the testing script for the exercise.

Note: The exercises have automatic grading but it's very rigid and strict, my recommendation is to ignore the tests and use them only as a recommendation or you can get frustrated.
