Is it really necessary?

[WaywardSpirit]

Hello Everyone,

So I am reading through the Introduction to Phaser,js Game Development book by Travis Faas and It is talking about setting up Yeoman, Bablify and a bunch of other stuff saying it will help the process and make it easier to minify and stuff with Node.js and Grunt. It really necessary? Kinda seems like a pain in the butt to do to go through all these command prompts to do it, I really dont want to sound lazy about doing it but It does seriously come off like that. Just what is the benefit and is it actually necessary?

Thanks for reading,
