5. Not required, but highly recommended:

   1. Install elm-format.
   2. Install the atom-beautify plugin in Atom.
   3. Go to the packages settings for atom-beautify, toggle open the "Elm" section, and check the "Beautify on Save" button.

6. Install elm-test and elm-live via NPM:

npm install -g elm-test elm-live@2.6.1

Note to Mac OS X users: If step 4 gives you an EACCESS error, try this fix:

Then re-run step 4.

elm-package install --yes

Once that succeeds, run this to verify everything:

elm-live Main.elm --open --pushstate --output=elm.js
