From 0f45f58f2c14b336b663802fb4c93d1102dd40af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Fabian=20K=C3=A4gy?= Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2019 10:20:36 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Update getting started section to include npm install If you currently follow the getting started section step by step the first thing you are getting is an error that he node modules are not installed. This of course is the case, but I believe it might be more frictionless for first time contributors when every step is included in the list. --- README.md | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 52d1f16f7bda..8785ee855dd6 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -17,8 +17,9 @@ You can try out the user-side of Calypso on [WordPress.com](https://wordpress.co 1.
