System Requirements

To use ShipReady effectively, ensure your development environment meets the following requirements:

Node.js

• Version: 16.x or later (LTS version recommended)
• Why: ShipReady is built on Shopify Remix, which requires Node.js to run.

You can check your Node.js version by running:

node --version

npm or yarn

• Version:
  • npm: 7.x or later
  • yarn: 1.22.x or later
• Why: These package managers are used to install and manage project dependencies.

Check your package manager version:

npm --version
# or
yarn --version

Git

• Version: 2.x or later
• Why: Git is used for version control and to clone the ShipReady repository.

Verify your Git installation:

git --version

Additional Software

• Code Editor: We recommend Visual Studio Code with the Shopify Remix extension for the best development experience.
• Browser: Latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, or Safari for testing your Shopify apps.

Shopify Requirements
