One click installation (recommended):

You can open these exercises in just a few seconds by clicking: Open in Codespaces (recommended) or Open in Gitpod.

Once you have VSCode open the LearnPack exercises should start automatically. If exercises don't run automatically you can try typing on your terminal: $ learnpack start

Manual installation

Clone the repository in your local environment and follow the steps below:

Install LearnPack, the package manager for learning tutorials and the HTML compiler plugin for LearnPack, make sure you also have node.js 14+:

$ npm i learnpack -g
$ learnpack plugins:install learnpack-html

Download the exercises

$ learnpack install css-tutorial-exercises-course

Note: Once you finish downloading, you will need to cd into the exercises folder which contains all the exercises.

Start the tutorial/exercises by running the following command at the same level where your learn.json file is:

$ npm i jest@24.8.0 -g
$ learnpack start

How are the exercises organized?

Each exercise is a small React application containing the following files:

index.html: all websites and exercises start from the index.html.
styles.css: your CSS code goes here, some exercises will make you update this file.
README.md: contains exercise instructions.
test.js: you don't have to open this file, it contains the testing script for the exercise.

Note: The exercises have automatic grading but it's very rigid and strict, my recommendation is to not take the tests too serious and use them only as a suggestion or you may get frustrated.
