Adding Angular to Your Environment
To get started with Angular, you need to set up a few things first to get it ready to use. Here’s what you need:
Angular libraries to make Angular applications
A web server to serve the files to the browser
A transpiler to convert your TypeScript code back to JavaScript
A watcher so that the transpiler knows when there has been a file change
An editor in which to write your code
Fortunately, the Angular team has done most of the work for you here. All you need to do is go to the Angular QuickStart website, which walks you through the process. The following Angular QuickStart website takes you through the basics of Angular: https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/quickstart.html. This website explains the basics of Angular’s command-line interface (CLI): https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/cli-quickstart.html.
