Solution

  • 'create-react-app' is a toolkit to quickly create a React app with some boilerplate code.

    You can create a React app in 2 steps:

    Step 1: install create-react-app

    Step 2: use create-react-app to create your app.

    For step 1: To install create-react-app use the following command:

    yarn global add create-react-app

    For step 2: To use this to create your React app:

    create-react-app app

    You can also create the app without globally installing the 'create-react-app' package:

    npx create-react-app <app name>
