<!-- (Audio) Maria: Great to hear that. Now, first things first. Install the development environment correctly, and you'll be all set to start coding. -->

--description--

The expression first things first is used to emphasize that important things should be done before anything else. It's often said at the beginning of a task to focus on the most important steps first. For example, First things first, let's review the project plan means to start with reviewing the plan before moving to other tasks.

An environment, in a technological context, often refers to a set of software and hardware conditions in which a system operates. For example, a development environment is where programmers write and test their code.
