Develop a Foundation website.

Requirements:

Install components for Foundation and create an initial website that
  1. is responsive
  2. has a sidebar
  3. includes at least 3 sections in the main content portion
  4. includes images and text (stock photos and lorem impsum code is text is fine)

Background

To set up your computer to use Foundation, you need to do more than just download css and js files. The reason for this is that Foundation makes use of SASS - which generates the css. This article explains a little bit about this process, although it is for version 5 and version 6 is easier.

The other part of the story is using node js and npm. npm is a system designed to support sharing and reuse of javascript code, and node js is a javascript runtime environment.

Basic Strategy for installing Foundation
