Use Atom CodeRoad to view and play your tutorial
-
Download the Atom editor
-
Install the Atom-CodeRoad package, or use the apm command-line tool
> apm install atom-coderoad -
Toggle open Atom-CodeRoad in Atom using the "packages" menu or press ctrl-alt-0.
-
It's recommended you also enable Autosave in Atom.
To enable autosave in Atom, go to Atom > Preferences > Packages > search for "autosave" > settings > check "enabled".
- If CodeRoad is unavailable under Atom > Packages > CodeRoad, restart or reload atom.
You can use the Atom command-palette to find "reload" or simply use the reload hot-key.
- Windows & Linux: alt-ctrl-r
- Mac: ctrl-alt-cmd-l
To install a tutorial, setup a package.json file and save the tutorial as a dependency. Make sure NodeJS is already installed.
You can setup a project quickly by typing npm init --y into the command line in your project's folder. This agrees to all of the defaults for your newly created package.json file.
Now you can install a tutorial. Run npm install --save-dev $THE-PACKAGE-NAME$ to save the tutorial as a package development dependency. If you run Atom-CodeRoad you should see the tutorial appear on the first screen.
