00-begin

Step 0 - Begin

The goal of this step is just to get everything set up with a running (but blank) app. We will be working in a step-by-step fashion to build an email application. Visit the final step to install and run the finished app locally.

Setup

You need node version 6 or higher. You can install nvm to manage multiple versions of node.

Fork the repo and create a local clone (be sure to replace <YOUR-USERNAME> with your own):

git clone https://github.com/<YOUR-USERNAME>/react-workshop.git

Copy the 00-begin directory, name it workshop, and change to it:

cd react-workshop
cp -r 00-begin workshop
cd workshop

Install all of the dependencies (yarn is preferred):

# Yarn
yarn

# ...or NPM
npm install

Start the app:

# Yarn
yarn start

# ...or NPM
npm start

Tasks

• Visit http://localhost:3000/ and you should see an empty page
