Create a New React App

Step 1: Open Your Terminal

Open your terminal or command prompt on your computer.

Step 2: Run create-react-app Command

Use the npx command to create a new React application. Replace "your_project_name" with your desired project name. This command scaffolds a new React app with the specified name.

npx create-react-app your_project_name

For example:

npx create-react-app my-react-app

Wait for the process to complete. It will create a new directory with your project's name and set up the initial project files and dependencies.

Step 3: Navigate to Your Project Folder

Change your working directory to the newly created project folder using the cd command:

cd your_project_name

For example:

cd my-react-app

Step 4: Start the Development Server

Now that you are inside your project folder, you can start the development server to see your React app in action. Use the following command:

npm start

This command will start the development server and open your React app in a web browser.

Conclusion

You have successfully created a new React app using create-react-app and started the development server. You can now begin building your React application by editing the files in your project folder.
