Local Environment Setup Pointers

You need to be careful since we require certain Node.js (v14) and PHP (v7.4) versions.

For ease of development, it is best to use nvm for node version management and automatic node version switching on shell navigation. For the zsh shell the easiest way is to use oh-my-zsh with the nvm plugin activated.

We use the following oh-my-zsh plugins: plugins=(composer git nvm npm) configured in ~/.zshrc. For automatic node version switching, place this line in ~/.zshrc just below the plugins line: NVM_AUTOLOAD=1. Now whenever you enter a directory through the shell, if it finds a .nvmrc file, it will switch to the specified node version.
