Prerequisites
Before you set up your environment, make sure you have the following tools installed and a Wallabi account ready.
| Tool | Version | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Git | Any recent version | git-scm.com — or use a Git GUI like GitHub Desktop |
| Node.js | v22 | Use NVM to install and manage versions |
| pnpm | Latest | Install via pnpm.io/installation |
| Claude Code | Latest | npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code — this is the AI assistant you’ll use to build apps |
| Code editor | — | VS Code is recommended, but everything works from the command line too |
If you’re not sure whether a tool is installed, open a terminal and type its name with --version (e.g., git --version). If you see a version number, you’re good.
Wallabi Account
Section titled “Wallabi Account”You need a Wallabi account with access to your organization. If you don’t have one, ask your team admin to invite you.
You’ll also need an API token for local development:
- Sign in to the Wallabi app
- Go to Settings > API Tokens
- Create a new token and save it somewhere secure — you’ll need it during setup
Next Steps
Section titled “Next Steps”Once you have everything above, head to Getting Started to set up your environment.
