title: Best Resource for learning MEAN Stack
body: <p>I started this question from a problem I was having following a tutorial(listed below). Some people felt it wasn't a good enough question. So I am re-stating my question.</p>
  
  <p>What is the best resource for learning &amp; understanding the MEAN Stack?</p>
  
  <p>////Old post</p>
  
  <p>Alright, I am at ends with this. I'm following this <a href="http://thecodebarbarian.wordpress.com/2013/07/22/introduction-to-the-mean-stack-part-one-setting-up-your-tools/" rel="noreferrer">tutorial</a> and I've gotten to the point where I need to fork a project on github[done] and run npm install. thiss is what the directions say:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>At this point, you’ve done essentially all you need to do to run a MEAN stack application. You can simply clone/fork <a href="https://github.com/vkarpov15/mean-stack-skeleton" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/vkarpov15/mean-stack-skeleton</a> , start a “mongod” process, navigate to the git repo, and run npm install -d</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So what the hell does that mean? Navigate to the git repo and then run a command. Mongod is running, I'm in another shell session...now what?</p>
  
  <p>thanks, I've been digging into this for a day now.</p>
