React Setup

Node.js

Before getting started with React development, ensure you have Node.js installed on your system.

Creating Our First React App

Open Your Terminal: Navigate to the directory where you want to create your React application.

Create a React Application: Run the following command to create a new React application named my-react-app:

npx create-react-app my-react-app

Alternatively, if you want to create the app in the current directory without specifying a name:

npx create-react-app .

Note: Ensure your folder name doesn't contain spaces or capital letters due to npm naming restrictions.

Navigate to the App Directory: If you specified a folder name while creating the app, enter that directory:

cd my-react-app

Start the Application: Start the React application with:

npm start

This command will launch a development server, and your React application will be accessible in your default web browser.
