Great work!! I haven't tested this because I haven't downloaded everything
- Make sure Node v 8.0 or higher is installed
- Make sure Openjdk v 11 or higher is installed (If you installed it via brew, don't forget to add the executable to $PATH, brew will output it as a handy command to execute for you)
- Make sure firebase-cli is installed (npm install -g firebase-tools)
Can you note the best way to download these? (Preferably with Homebrew) Also I have a few questions, you can comment directly in that thread

When would this flag need to be enabled vs disabled? Only when wanting to use the emulator? Otherwise it would be unchecked, which would default to using the real project?
| let useEmulator = UserDefaults.standard.bool(forKey: "useEmulator") | ||
| if useEmulator { |

Why use UseDefaults, as opposed to the command line argument?

Honestly I don't have a better answer to that question than "Because Peter recommended it doing it like that in his article" But I guess it could also be done via command line arguments, if you prefer that :)

The best way to install all the requirements is indeed via homebrew:
With that all prerequisites should be installed. Let me know if anything doesn't work |

Thanks so much for all the help on this! I'm finally getting around to implementing it I'm going to close your PR because I'm working on this on a separate branch, because I'm also updating a few other things. Your steps were super helpful to finally get this running! |
