Getting Started with React in VS Code

This beginner-friendly guide walks you through setting up your React development environment

using Visual Studio Code (VS Code).

1. Install Node.js
React apps require Node.js and npm. Download and install the LTS version from https://nodejs.org.

After installing, check your terminal:

node -v

npm -v

2. Open VS Code and Terminal


Open a folder in VS Code where you want to build your app. Use the shortcut Ctrl + ` to open the

terminal or go to Terminal > New Terminal.

3. Create a New React App


In the terminal, run:

npx create-react-app my-app

This sets up everything you need in a new folder called 'my-app'.

4. Run the App


Navigate into your project and start the development server:

cd my-app

npm start

Your browser will open showing the default React app.

5. Start Coding
Open the file 'src/App.js' and start editing your code. The app will auto-refresh with your changes.
