Download required tools and configuration for the first time use

Download & install the required software for configuration of Cypress

For Cypress environment setup, visit the link https://nodejs.org/en/download/.

We can use both Windows and macOS installers. We have to get the package as per the local operating system. 

Once the installation is done, a nodejs file gets created in the Program files. The path of this file should be noted.

Enter NODE_HOME and the node.js path in the Variable name and the Variable value fields respectively in the New System Variable pop-up.

Next, we need to have a JavaScript editor to write the code for Cypress. For this, we can download Visual Studio Code from the link https://code.visualstudio.com/

Once the executable file is downloaded, and all the installation steps are completed, the Visual Studio Code gets launched.
