Tools you will need to download and install:
Visual Studio Code: https://code.visualstudio.com/Download
Node JS: https://nodejs.org/en/download/
Open Visual Studio Code to an empty folder in lowercase with no spaces. Then open the “View”->”Explorer” window and the Terminal window. In this example I’m using C:\proj\
To see if you have node installed, at the terminal prompt type:
PS C:\proj> node -v v16.13.1
And you should see the version number returned.
Next enter
PS C:\proj> npx create-react-app .
to create the basic files and folders, download and install components needed to develop a React app.
To run the application use
PS C:\proj> npm start
To compile the application for deploying to web site use
PS C:\proj> npm run build
