No mention of Node.js requirement about webrtc-web HOT 4 CLOSED

In step 7 I think you must tell to install Node.js because this is a tutorial and specify to move the downloaded folders to the right place, for example in windows after you run npm install we have a "node_modules" folder and we must copy "socket.io-client" folder to work directory and rename that to "socket.io"

Hi @joshuaptfan — apologies for the delay in responding.

In step 7, corresponding to the "step-04" folder, you ask the user to run the commands "npm install" and "node index.js".

At no point in time do you provide a link for the user to install Node.js so that these commands will work. Nor is it mentioned in "Overview" under "What you'll need". It also takes some research to learn that NPM does not need to be installed separately because it is included with Node.js.

Step 7 has a section at the top explaining how to install Node, with links, and explaining that this enables use to use NPM. Does this make sense?

You may get warnings, but if there are errors in red, ask for help!

The user is not in a classroom. There is no teacher to ask for help from.

Good point — we built this codelab for use at Google events where there are helpers, but many people will use it on their own directly from the site. I've updated the explanatory text and will republish soon.
