To run a React application, follow these steps:
- Make sure you have Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) installed on your machine. You can download them from the official Node.js website: https://nodejs.org
- Open your command line interface (CLI) or terminal.
- Navigate to the root directory of your React application using the
cd
command. For example, if your application is in a folder called “my-react-app,” you would run:
cd my-react-app
- Install the required dependencies by running the following command:
npm install
- Once the dependencies are installed, start the development server by running:
npm start
- Your React application should now be running. Open your web browser and go to
http://localhost:3000
to see your application in action.
Note: The above steps assume you have a standard React project created using tools like Create React App. If you have a different setup or specific requirements, the steps may vary slightly.
