Configure your prerequisites

There are a few prerequisites that you need to complete before you can work through this tutorial. If you've already completed any of them, feel free to skip that step.

You can create a Vonage account via the Dashboard.

Within the Dashboard you can create Applications and purchase Vonage numbers. You can also perform these tasks using the Vonage CLI.

If you want to carry out tasks such as creating applications, purchasing Vonage numbers and so on, you will need to install the Vonage CLI. As the Vonage CLI requires node.js you will need to install node.js first.

To make sure node.js is installed, please run the following command in the terminal:

node -v

Follow the steps outlined on the Getting Started with Vonage CLI page to install and configure the command line.
