**Audience:** Use this guide **only** in the context of [Upgrading from AngularJS ](guide/upgrade "Upgrading from AngularJS to Angular" ) or [Upgrading for Performance ](guide/upgrade-performance "Upgrading for Performance" ).
Those Upgrade guides refer to this Setup guide for information about using the [deprecated QuickStart GitHub repository ](https://github.com/angular/quickstart "Deprecated Angular QuickStart GitHub repository" ), which was created prior to the current Angular [CLI ](cli "CLI Overview" ).
2017-03-31 19:57:13 -04:00

**For all other scenarios,** see the current instructions in [Local Environment Setup ](guide/setup-local "Setting up for Local Development" ).

<!--
The < live-example name = quickstart > QuickStart live-coding</ live-example > example is an Angular _playground_ .
There are also some differences from a local app, to simplify that live-coding experience.
In particular, the QuickStart live-coding example shows just the AppComponent file; it creates the equivalent of app.module.ts and main.ts internally for the playground only.

This guide describes how to develop locally on your own machine.
Setting up a new project on your machine is quick and easy with the [QuickStart seed on github ](https://github.com/angular/quickstart "Install the github QuickStart repo" ).
2017-03-31 19:57:13 -04:00
2019-04-02 02:12:55 -04:00
**Prerequisite:** Make sure you have [Node.js® and npm installed ](guide/setup-local#prerequisites "Angular prerequisites" ).

## Clone

2017-02-22 13:09:39 -05:00
## Delete _non-essential_ files (optional)
You can quickly delete the _non-essential_ files that concern testing and QuickStart repository maintenance
(***including all git-related artifacts*** such as the `.git` folder and `.gitignore` !).

The **QuickStart seed** provides a basic QuickStart playground application and other files necessary for local development.
Consequently, there are many files in the project folder on your machine,
2018-10-10 17:28:49 -04:00
most of which you can [learn about later ](guide/file-structure ).

All guides and cookbooks have _at least these core files_ .
2017-02-22 13:09:39 -05:00
Each file has a distinct purpose and evolves independently as the application grows.
Files outside `src/` concern building, deploying, and testing your app.
They include configuration files and external dependencies.
Files inside `src/` "belong" to your app.
Add new Typescript, HTML and CSS files inside the `src/` directory, most of them inside `src/app` ,
unless told to do otherwise.
The following are all in `src/`
2017-03-30 15:04:18 -04:00

Defines the same `AppComponent` as the one in the QuickStart playground.
It is the **root** component of what will become a tree of nested components
2017-06-09 17:48:53 -04:00

Defines `AppModule` , the [root module ](guide/bootstrapping "AppModule: the root module" ) that tells Angular how to assemble the application.
2017-03-31 19:57:13 -04:00
Right now it declares only the `AppComponent` .
Soon there will be more components to declare.

Compiles the application with the [JIT compiler ](guide/glossary#jit ) and
2017-07-04 10:58:20 -04:00
[bootstraps ](guide/bootstrapping )
2017-03-31 19:57:13 -04:00
the application's main module (`AppModule`) to run in the browser.
The JIT compiler is a reasonable choice during the development of most projects and
2017-11-03 13:08:28 -04:00
it's the only viable choice for a sample running in a _live-coding_ environment like Stackblitz.
2017-03-31 19:57:13 -04:00
You'll learn about alternative compiling and [deployment ](guide/deployment ) options later in the documentation.

If you're new to Angular, we recommend you follow the [tutorial ](tutorial "Tour of Heroes tutorial" ).

2018-04-26 19:38:23 -04:00
## Appendix: Node.js and npm
2017-03-31 19:57:13 -04:00
2018-04-26 18:47:31 -04:00
[Node.js ](https://nodejs.org/en/ ) and the [npm ](https://www.npmjs.com/ ) package manager are essential to modern web development with Angular and other platforms.
2018-04-26 22:50:42 -04:00
Node.js powers client development and build tools.
The _npm_ package manager, which is itself a _Node.js_ application, installs JavaScript libraries.
2017-03-27 11:08:53 -04:00
< a href = "https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-node" target = "_blank" title = "Installing Node.js and updating npm" >
Get them now< / a > if they're not already installed on your machine.
2018-04-26 18:47:31 -04:00
**Verify that you are running Node.js `v8.x` or higher and npm `5.x` or higher**
2017-03-27 11:08:53 -04:00
by running the commands `node -v` and `npm -v` in a terminal/console window.
Older versions produce errors.
2018-04-26 18:47:31 -04:00
We recommend [nvm ](https://github.com/creationix/nvm ) for managing multiple versions of Node.js and npm.
You may need [nvm ](https://github.com/creationix/nvm ) if you already have projects running on your machine that use other versions of Node.js and npm.
2017-03-31 07:23:16 -04:00
2018-01-26 23:45:03 -05:00
2019-04-02 02:12:55 -04:00
## Appendix: Develop locally with IE
2018-01-26 23:45:03 -05:00
2019-04-02 02:12:55 -04:00
If you develop angular locally with `ng serve` , a `websocket` connection is set up automatically between browser and local dev server, so when your code changes, the browser can automatically refresh.
2018-01-26 23:45:03 -05:00
2019-04-02 02:12:55 -04:00
In Windows, by default, one application can only have 6 websocket connections, < a href = "https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ee330736%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396#websocket_maxconn" title = "MSDN WebSocket settings" > MSDN WebSocket Settings< / a > .
So when IE is refreshed (manually or automatically by `ng serve` ), sometimes the websocket does not close properly. When websocket connections exceed the limitations, a `SecurityError` will be thrown. This error will not affect the angular application, you can just restart IE to clear this error, or modify the windows registry to update the limitations.
2018-04-01 10:09:00 -04:00
2019-04-02 02:12:55 -04:00
## Appendix: Test using `fakeAsync()/async()`
2018-04-01 10:09:00 -04:00
2019-04-02 02:12:55 -04:00
If you use the `fakeAsync()/async()` helper function to run unit tests (for details, read the [Testing guide ](guide/testing#async-test-with-fakeasync )), you need to import `zone.js/dist/zone-testing` in your test setup file.
2018-04-01 10:09:00 -04:00
< div class = "alert is-important" >
If you create project with `Angular/CLI` , it is already imported in `src/test.ts` .
< / div >
And in the earlier versions of `Angular` , the following files were imported or added in your html file:
```
import 'zone.js/dist/long-stack-trace-zone';
import 'zone.js/dist/proxy';
import 'zone.js/dist/sync-test';
import 'zone.js/dist/jasmine-patch';
import 'zone.js/dist/async-test';
import 'zone.js/dist/fake-async-test';
```
2019-04-02 02:12:55 -04:00
You can still load those files separately, but the order is important, you must import `proxy` before `sync-test` , `async-test` , `fake-async-test` and `jasmine-patch` . And you also need to import `sync-test` before `jasmine-patch` , so it is recommended to just import `zone-testing` instead of loading those separated files.
