Before we start, there are some required prerequisites. You need to have Node 8.x and npm 5.2 or greater installed. npm comes with the official node distribution, so if you install Node from Nodejs.org, you should be good.
You’ll also need access to an OpenShift environment or the Red Hat Container Development Kit (CDK) minishift environment. For this example, I’ll be using minishift (instructions on getting minishift up and running).
For my local minishift, I start it with this command:
$ minishift start —memory=6144 —vm-driver virtualbox
You also need to be logged in to whatever OpenShift cluster you are using (OpenShift or minishift) using oc Login
