I built this project to allow people to create a portfolio without using the browser. A big advantage of node.js is that since you don't have to run it through the browser, it reduces runtime for users. In addition, it allows JavaScript to run both client-side (front-end) and server-side (back-end) applications, making the app more versitile then running it in the browser.
Make sure that you have node.js downloaded. If you don't, follow this link: https://nodejs.org/en/ and click on the LTS version to download node.js to your entire computer. If you are on Windows, make sure to look for the section that says Download for Windows (x64). If you are using macOS, make sure to look for the section that says Download for MacOS (x64)
Once node.js is downloaded, click on the green code button and copy the link to this repository. Then open up your favorite code editor and open the terminal. In the terminal use cd to go to the root directory you want this repository to be cloned to. Finally, in the terminal, type git clone <file link> to clone this repository to your directory.
You must also install the Inquirer npm package to see the portfolio. Since Inquirer is an npm package instead of being built directly into node.js, you must type npm init into the command line to allow npm packages to be installed. Next, go to the app.js file, and in the command line, type npm install inquirer to install Inquirer on your computer. For documentation on Inquirer or other npm packages, follow this link: https://www.npmjs.com/ and type the npm you want to search in the search bar.
To create a portfolio, type node app into your terminal and you will be prompted with a series of questions. Answer the questions accordingly and then go to the index.html file and open it in your browser. If the resulting page looks like the screenshot below, you're good to go!
