React Getting Started

To get started with React, you will need to have a basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Once you have that, follow these steps:

Install Node.js and NPM (Node Package Manager) on your machine if you haven’t already. You can download Node.js from the official website: https://nodejs.org/en/download/
Once you have Node.js and NPM installed, open a command prompt or terminal window and run the following command to create a new React app:

				
					npx create-react-app my-app

Replace “my-app” with the name of your app.

Navigate into the newly created app directory:

				
					cd my-app

Start the development server:

				
					npm start

This will launch the app in your default browser at http://localhost:3000.

Open the “src” folder in your code editor and start building your React components in the “App.js” file. You can also create new components in separate files and import them into App.js.
Save your changes and the browser will automatically update with the new changes.

That’s it! You now have a basic React app up and running. From here, you can start exploring the React documentation and learning more about building complex UIs with React.
