Let's create a new folder for the workspace. Create a folder called e-commerce-app and, from the Terminal, navigate to the folder:

> mkdir e-commerce-app
> cd e-commerce-app

Now, create a new folder for our application; let's call it online-store and navigate to it:

> mkdir online-store
> cd online-store
