Before we learn how to test our vue.js components, we need to install a few packages that will be the tools we use.
In this lesson, we'll walk you through the project that we've prepared and show you how to install the required packages before we continue with testing vue.js components.
We have created a boilerplate that contains the components that we will test in this course. Make sure to download or clone it (instructions below) if you want to follow along.
Clone project and Install the dependencies
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/vueschool/testing-vue-components.git
