Run the following command to install Homebrew:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
2. Install Node.js:
Visit below websit https://nodejs.org/en/download
Install with Homebrew
After installing Homebrew, you can install Node.js by running the following command:
brew install nodeTo verify that Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) have been installed successfully, run:
node -v
npm -v
3. Install Yarn (Optional, but recommended):
Yarn is an alternative package manager to npm, and it's commonly used with React projects. You can install Yarn using Homebrew:
brew install yarn4. Create a React Application:
Now that you have Node.js and optionally Yarn installed, you can create a new React application. Open Terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to create your project.
5. Create a New React App:
Run the following command to create a new React app using Create React App (a popular React boilerplate):
npx create-react-app my-react-appReplace "my-react-app" with your preferred project name.
6. Navigate to the Project Directory:
Change your current directory to the newly created project directory:
cd my-react-app7. Start the Development Server:
Start the development server to see your React app in action:
npm startor with Yarn:
yarn startThis will open your default web browser and display your React app. By default, it runs on http://localhost:3000.
8. Start Coding:
You can now start coding your React application. The code for your app can be found in the "src" directory within your project folder.
That's it! You've successfully installed Node.js, React.js, and created a new React application on your Mac. You can now begin building your React projects.
