1. Install Node.js and npm
- Download and install Node.js from nodejs.org, which includes npm (Node Package Manager).
2.Create a New React Application:
- Open your terminal or command prompt.
- Run the following command to install Create React App globally (if not already installed):
npm install -g create-react-app
- Create a new React project: Replace
my-appwith your desired project name. This command sets up a new React project with a default configuration.
npx create-react-app my-app
- Navigate to your project directory:
cd my-app
- Start the development server:
npm start
- This will open your app in the default web browser at http://localhost:3000. The development server will watch for changes to your files and automatically reload the browser.
3.Install Additional Packages (if needed):
- You might want to add more packages for routing, state management, or UI components. For example:
npm install react-router-dom redux react-redux
4.Set Up a Code Editor:
- Use a code editor like Visual Studio Code or Sublime Text for writing and managing your code.
5. Build and Deploy:
- When you’re ready to deploy your application, build the production version:
npm run build
This command generates a build directory with optimized files for deployment.
