> In this article I'm 30 screens down (literally 30 page down presses) and it's not even finished setting up the environment and dependencies.
I'm writing a tutorial right now for testing AngularJS and this is exactly what I'm running into. It's a tutorial but half of my first part is "install this, put this line in this configuration file, install this, add this one here, etc." It's easy to feel like I'm not writing a good tutorial but really that's just the current state of JS development.
I'm way out of my league, but would it be possible to distribute a Docker container with all the boilerplate? Tutorial users could run that at the start, then do the "fun stuff".
