## Clone the project
After setting up your GitLab Account ([Add SSH key](https://git.thm.de/help/ssh/README)), clone the project via `git clone git@git.thm.de:swtp-block-ws17/arsnova-angular-frontend.git`.
## Setting up the programming environment
The project folder is the one you cloned in the step before. Open this folder (not a parent, neither any child) as the project in your IDE. We recommend to use [Webstorm](https://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/) via the [Jetbrains Toolbox](https://www.jetbrains.com/toolbox/app/).
## Setting up the project
Open your terminal of choice and got to the project directory. Run `npm install` to fetch and download all dependencies for the project.
