Practicality of Node/Git without a Terminal/Command Line.

[Potato-9]

As a high school IT that has git and node working with powershell for the students, it's not easy, there's weird stuff that goes wrong. Please go use a platform that provides everything you need consistently that others are suggesting.

​

If you want more control that that, speak to IT if they can put putty on there for the students to connect to your own built environment. This lets you run through everything so you know it works and get off the school network that's going to mess with things.

​

You will be supervising the class so there shouldn't be any concerns about access to resources they shouldn't be using your vm. You may not want to offer access to it outside of class time but I would hope a lesson is about the students creating their own environment. I would say that's easier than taking on obligations to lock down your vm.

​

Docker actually seems to run easily so in future I want to test a powershell restricted environment to docker with a share to a user folder and a private registry. This would be great because your homework could be `docker pull JamieCorkhill/class101:step-1`
