Trying to follow along with Express Basics. Downloaded Babun but can't find any save feature and can remove anything I e

Sorry it froze and wouldn't let me finish the title. I can't remove anything I type in Babun and because there is no save I must start over. The command line from the teachers notes has no effect in any other command line editor I've tried.

Thank you Jason, I will try that. I've only been doing coding for 6 days and trying to find the right tools and how to use them seems to be my biggest problem at this point. What is CDM? I installed Light Table last night but haven't had a chance to use it yet. Are you familiar with it? If so I'd value your opinion of it.

I didn't bother installing babun for this course.

I just use plain CMD.

Just install node, git, and rails installer. Then you should be fine to follow a long.

I just finished this course today took 8 hours. LOLs.

Dos or terminal.

CMD "command shell" is the run command for windows. Windows commands are tad different.

I've attached a picture https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/89/Net_use_cmd.png

MAC and Linux have the same commands with their terminal, but you can run the GIT shell with windows. So basically you follow the command line on the teamtreehouse course. But for deployment your going to need commandline linux you connect through ssh. Teamtreehouse needs to teach us LINUX.

Oh yeah for the express course your going to have to know git. He doesn't have download links. So to download them you have to use terminal git commands to get the files.

Thank you Jason, The more I learn the less I know it seems, this stuff does get deep fast. BTW Light Table is helping it's pretty intuitive.
