npx create-react-app my-app
cd my-app
npm start
If you've previously installed create-react-app
globally via npm install -g create-react-app
, we recommend you uninstall the package using npm uninstall -g create-react-app
or yarn global remove create-react-app
to ensure that npx always uses the latest version.
(npx comes with npm 5.2+ and higher, see instructions for older npm versions)
Then open http://localhost:3000/ to see your app.
When you’re ready to deploy to production, create a minified bundle with npm run build
.
You don’t need to install or configure tools like webpack or Babel.
They are preconfigured and hidden so that you can focus on the code.
Create a project, and you’re good to go.
You’ll need to have Node 14.0.0 or later version on your local development machine (but it’s not required on the server). We recommend using the latest LTS version. You can use nvm (macOS/Linux) or nvm-windows to switch Node versions between different projects.
To create a new app, you may choose one of the following methods:
npx create-react-app my-app
(npx is a package runner tool that comes with npm 5.2+ and higher, see instructions for older npm versions)
npm init react-app my-app
npm init <initializer>
is available in npm 6+
yarn create react-app my-app
yarn create <starter-kit-package>
is available in Yarn 0.25+
It will create a directory called my-app
inside the current folder.
Inside that directory, it will generate the initial project structure and install the transitive dependencies:
my-app
├── README.md
├── node_modules
├── package.json
├── .gitignore
├── public
│ ├── favicon.ico
│ ├── index.html
│ └── manifest.json
└── src
├── App.css
├── App.js
├── App.test.js
├── index.css
├── index.js
├── logo.svg
└── serviceWorker.js
└── setupTests.js
No configuration or complicated folder structures, only the files you need to build your app.
Once the installation is done, you can open your project folder:
cd my-app
Inside the newly created project, you can run some built-in commands:
Runs the app in development mode.
