Installation

Welcome to React! React helps you build modern web applications.

For getting started an React application you needs two things as Prerequisites.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure your development environment includes Node and an npm package manager.

  1. Node.js

    Install Node.js using downloaded file

    To check your node version, run node -v in a terminal/console window.

  2. Npm package manager

    CLI (command line interface), and React apps depend on features and functionality provided by libraries that are available as npm packages. To download and install npm packages, you must have an npm package manager.

    This Quick Start uses the npm client command line interface, which is installed with Node.js by default. To check that you have the npm client installed, run npm -v in a terminal/console window.

    For better understanding React we suggest you to once go through official documentation of React from reactjs.org
