Environment Setup Guide
Overview
Help developers set up complete development environments from scratch. This skill provides step-by-step guidance for installing tools, configuring dependencies, setting up environment variables, and verifying the setup works correctly.
When to Use This Skill
Use when starting a new project and need to set up the development environment
Use when onboarding new team members to a project
Use when switching to a new machine or operating system
Use when troubleshooting environment-related issues
Use when documenting setup instructions for a project
Use when creating development environment documentation
How It Works
Step 1: Identify Requirements
I'll help you determine what needs to be installed:
Programming language and version (Node.js, Python, Go, etc.)
Package managers (npm, pip, cargo, etc.)
Database systems (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, etc.)
Development tools (Git, Docker, IDE extensions, etc.)
Environment variables and configuration files
Step 2: Check Current Setup
Before installing anything, I'll help you check what's already installed:
node --version
python --version
git --version
docker --version
Step 3: Provide Installation Instructions
I'll give platform-specific installation commands:
macOS: Using Homebrew
Linux: Using apt, yum, or package manager
Windows: Using Chocolatey, Scoop, or direct installers
Step 4: Configure the Environment
Help set up:
Environment variables (.env files)
Configuration files (.gitconfig, .npmrc, etc.)
IDE settings (VS Code, IntelliJ, etc.)
Shell configuration (.bashrc, .zshrc, etc.)
Step 5: Verify Installation
Provide verification steps to ensure everything works:
Run version checks
Test basic commands
Verify database connections
Check environment variables are loaded
Examples
Example 1: Node.js Project Setup
## Setting Up Node.js Development Environment
### Prerequisites
- macOS, Linux, or Windows
Terminal/Command Prompt access
Internet connection
\ \`bash
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
brew install node
\ \`
\ \`bash
sudo apt update
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup ENV=development
PORT=3000
DATABASE KEY=your-api-key-here
\ \`
\ \`bash
npm run dev
\ \`
"node: command not found"
Restart your terminal or run \ (Linux) or \ (macOS)
"Permission denied" errors
Don't use sudo with npm. Fix permissions:
\ \`bash
mkdir ~/.npm-global
npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'
echo 'export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
\ \`

\`\`\`
### Step 3: Install Project Dependencies
\`\`\`bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/your-repo/project.git
cd project

npm install
\`\`\`
### Step 4: Set Up Environment Variables
Create a \`.env\` file:
\`\`\`bash
# Copy example environment file
cp .env.example .env
# Edit with your values
nano .env
\`\`\`
Example \`.env\` content:
\`\`\`
NODE_
_URL=postgresql://localhost:5432/mydb
API_
`\`
### Step 5: Run the Project
`\`
# Start development server
# Should see: Server running on http://localhost:3000
`\`
### Troubleshooting

Example 2: Python Project Setup ## Setting Up Python Development Environment
### Step 1: Install Python
**macOS:**
\`\` \`bash
brew install python@3.11
\`\` \`
**Linux:**
\`\` \`bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3.11 python3.11-venv python3-pip
\`\` \`
**Windows:**
\`\` \`powershell
choco install python --version=3.11
\`\` \`
### Step 2: Verify Installation
\`\` \`bash
python3 --version # Should show Python 3.11.x
pip3 --version # Should show pip 23.x.x
\`\` \`
### Step 3: Create Virtual Environment
\`\` \`bash
# Navigate to project directory
cd my-project
# Create virtual environment
python3 -m venv venv
# Activate virtual environment
# macOS/Linux:
source venv/bin/activate
# Windows:
venv\Scripts\activate
\`\` \`
### Step 4: Install Dependencies
\`\` \`bash
# Install from requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Or install packages individually
pip install flask sqlalchemy python-dotenv
\`\` \`
### Step 5: Set Up Environment Variables
Create \`.env\` file:
\`\` \`
FLASK_APP=app.py
FLASK_ ENV=development

Best Practices
✅ Do This
Document Everything - Write clear setup instructions
Use Version Managers - nvm for Node, pyenv for Python
Create .env.example - Show required environment variables
Test on Clean System - Verify instructions work from scratch
Include Troubleshooting - Document common issues and solutions
Use Docker - For consistent environments across machines
Pin Versions - Specify exact versions in package files
Automate Setup - Create setup scripts when possible
Check Prerequisites - List required tools before starting
Provide Verification Steps - Help users confirm setup works
❌ Don't Do This
Don't Assume Tools Installed - Always check and provide install instructions
Don't Skip Environment Variables - Document all required variables
Don't Use Sudo with npm - Fix permissions instead
Don't Forget Platform Differences - Provide OS-specific instructions
Don't Leave Out Verification - Always include test steps
Don't Use Global Installs - Prefer local/virtual environments
Don't Ignore Errors - Document how to handle common errors
Don't Skip Database Setup - Include database initialization steps
Common Pitfalls
Problem: "Command not found" after installation Symptoms: Installed tool but terminal doesn't recognize it
Solution:
Restart terminal or source shell config
Check PATH environment variable
Verify installation location
echo $PATH
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH "
Problem: Permission errors with npm/pip Symptoms: "EACCES" or "Permission denied" errors
Solution:
Don't use sudo
Fix npm permissions or use nvm
Use virtual environments for Python
mkdir ~/.npm-global
npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'
echo 'export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
Problem: Port already in use Symptoms: "Port 3000 is already in use"
Solution:
Find and kill process using the port
Use a different port
lsof -i :3000
kill -9 <PID>
PORT=3001 npm start
Problem: Database connection fails Symptoms: "Connection refused" or "Authentication failed"
Solution:
Verify database is running
Check connection string
Verify credentials
sudo systemctl status postgresql
psql -h localhost -U postgres -d mydb
Setup Script Template Create a setup.sh script to automate setup:
#!/bin/bash
echo "🚀 Setting up development environment..."
command -v node >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "❌ Node.js not installed" ; exit 1; }
command -v git >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "❌ Git not installed" ; exit 1; }
echo "✅ Prerequisites check passed"
echo "📦 Installing dependencies..."
npm install
if [ ! -f .env ]; then
echo "📝 Creating .env file..."
cp .env.example .env
echo "⚠️ Please edit .env with your configuration"
fi
echo "🗄️ Running database migrations..."
npm run migrate
echo "🔍 Verifying setup..."
npm run test :setup
echo "✅ Setup complete! Run 'npm run dev' to start"
