Setting up the workspace
Before starting, it's important to have setup correctly our workspace. You can follow the steps described in the documentation, since it will always be updated to reflect latest changes in the framework. If you already have Embark and its dependencies installed you can skip this step.
At the moment of writing the tutorial, the commands I used on Ubuntu 18.04 were these. Some steps change depending on the operative system used (i.e. node-gyp), as well as the versions of files. Please refer to Embark or any of the installed tools docs for troubleshooting. Also a docker image is being built with Embark and all its dependencies, and it may be used to follow this tutorial.
