Mac is very popular among frontend developers, exactly because of issues you experienced above.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that something which takes 5 minutes to setup in Mac, is an unknown factor in Windows 😂 (could literally take days or weeks to figure out).

Step by Step installation guide for Mac:

1. [Install Brew](https://brew.sh/) (it may ask you to install Xcode dev tools - do that first)
2. Install frontend tools

```auto
# Install Node version manager
brew install nvm 

# Install latest Node.js version 12
nvm install 12

# Set Node 12 as the default version
nvm alias default 12

# Install Yarn package manager
brew install yarn

# Install Babylon Project
git clone https://github.com/ecoinomist/babylon-next.git
cd babylon-next
yarn
yarn dev

```

I don’t know your Mac setup, but if `nvm` command isn’t working, you may need to add this in **.bash\_profile** :

```auto
# Node Package Manager
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
source $(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh

```

Then in terminal:

```auto
source ~/.bash_profile

```
