### Prerequisites

  
Make sure you have the following prerequisites if you intend on joining us and making the best use of everyone's time.  
  

*   Sign up for Umbraco Headless & create a headless project  
    You can find instructions at [umbraco.com/headless](http://umbraco.com/headless). Keep your CMS empty. We will populate content as we do our Tutorial.
*   Install .NET Core 2.1 on your machine  
    You can install it from [https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/dotnet-core/2.1](https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/dotnet-core/2.1)  
    Still not sure? You can [check it using the instructions here](https://www.ntweekly.com/2018/03/04/check-net-core-version-installed/).
*   Have you installed the latest version of Visual Studio 2017 or Visual Studio Code?  
    I've got VS2017 (v15.7.5) and VS Code (v1.25.1) running on my machine. I will be mainly using VS2017 for this tutorial though.
*   Have you installed a Git Client you are comfortable with?  
    You will need to pull changes and switch branches. I will be using Git bash, but you are free to use whatever Git client you favour.
