If you just want to use the tutorial's code, even if you want to change it around, I recommend using the Scrimba page itself, as it has the environment all set up for you. You can even change the code and run the app again right there.

Based on your use of 'require', it sounds like you're trying to run this in Node.js. Is that correct?
If so, that would explain the 'document is not defined' error you're seeing, as Node does not offer a 'document' object. The guide was written to run in a browser JavaScript environment, where 'document' is defined natively.

Yes, you must be right. I am using VSCode. And running it with Live Server. I couldn't get it to work otherwise. I must be not running it correctly. Can you give me a hi t on how to run it in the browser as you said? Thanks!
