Before installing and diving into JHipster, here are a few pointers to prepare you for some of the common issues that one might encounter:
- When using Yarn on macOS or Linux, you need to have $HOME/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/.bin in the path. This will normally be automatically done when you install Yarn but if not, you can run the command export PATH="$PATH:`yarn global bin`:$HOME/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/.bin" in a Terminal to do this.
- If you are behind a corporate proxy, you will have to bypass it for NPM, Bower, and Maven/Gradle to work properly. Visit http://www.jhipster.tech/configuring-a-corporate-proxy/ to see what proxy options can be set for different tools used.
If you are on Mac or Linux and if you are using Oh-My-Zsh or the Fisherman shell then you could use the specific plugins from JHipster for that. Visit http://www.jhipster.tech/shell-plugins/ for details.
