Installing node and npm as attendee of AI Agent Dev School

[Johnwbusch]

This is my first time to use Terminal in about 30 years. Can someone please watch this Loom video of me doing it and let me know if I did it correctly?

Please confirm if you can take the time and have the patience to watch the short Loom video, read the text below and/or ask me to reply with more data from Terminal.

https://www.loom.com/share/f7f38c3981534f97bd5187d1dc488ad1?sid=7660253a-66b2-414e-9674-e635e778efaa

I then ran these 2 commands.
johnbusch@MacBook-Pro-4 eliza % nvm install 23

The OBS screen capture was frozen as Shaw was walking attendees thru 1) where to find and how to install pnpm and then where to find and how to install the eliza starter kit. I got resourceful and looked at Shaw's laptop screen to see what repo he was using and then dug around github and found this page https://github.com/elizaOS/eliza/blob/main/README.md

Below is the data from Terminal, so it looks like I installed pnpm correctly, right?

johnbusch@MacBook-Pro-4 eliza % ;2Anpm install -g pnpm
zsh: command not found: 2Anpm
johnbusch@MacBook-Pro-4 eliza % curl -fsSL https://get.pnpm.io/install.sh | sh -

Copying pnpm CLI from /private/var/folders/vv/gvn09y5s6zv1y1k1s2k_pz3h0000gn/T/tmp.lhxBqLaBYN/pnpm to /Users/johnbusch/Library/pnpm/pnpm
Created /Users/johnbusch/.zshrc

Next configuration changes were made:
export PNPM_HOME="/Users/johnbusch/Library/pnpm"
case ":$PATH:" in
":$PNPM_HOME:") ;;
*) export PATH="$PNPM_HOME:$PATH" ;;
esac

To start using pnpm, run:
source /Users/johnbusch/.zshrc
johnbusch@MacBook-Pro-4 eliza %

Then here is when I ran the command to load the eliza starter kit
johnbusch@MacBook-Pro-4 eliza % git clone https://github.com/elizaos/eliza-starter.git
cd eliza-starter
cp .env.example .env
pnpm i && pnpm build && pnpm start

This line "zsh: command not found: pnpm" let me know I missed something, so I ran this command
source /Users/johnbusch/.zshrc

Then I once again ran the command to load the eliza starter kit and VIOLA!!!
johnbusch@MacBook-Pro-4 eliza-starter % git clone https://github.com/elizaos/eliza-starter.git
