Quickstart

You setup StoryScript and create a new game in just a few steps. On Windows, there are a few additional things to take care of:

Install NodeJs when you don't have it yet. You don't need tools for native modules, so you don't need to tick the box to install Chocolatey.
Install Visual Studio Code (VS Code) if you don't have an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) yet. You can go with the default install options.
Open VS Code. On Windows, you'll need to do so as an administrator. You can do this by right-clicking the shortcut or executable and choose "Run as administrator".
Open a new, empty folder for your StoryScript project.
Open a new terminal (CONTROL + SHIFT + `).
WINDOWS ONLY: Set the proper execution policy for scripts. You do this by running this command in the terminal:
```
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
```
Install the StoryScript NPM (Node Package Manager) package using this command:
```
npm i @strixit/storyscript
```
When you get an error on the previous step, try updating your npm version by running this command and then trying step 7 again:
```
npm install -g npm@latest
```
You can now install the StoryScript NPM (Node Package Manager) package using this command:
```
npm i @strixit/storyscript
```
Run StoryScript's setup. It will ask you for a name and create your first game:
```
npx storyscript setup
```

All set to go! To start your game, run this command in your terminal:

npx storyscript start

Your brower should open or a new tab should open in your browser, showing your new game running at http://localhost:3000/.
