It offers a modern build setup with no configuration. ## Quick Start[​](https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/#quick-start "Direct link to heading") ``` npx create-react-app my-app cd my-app npm start ``` Copy > 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](https://medium.com/@maybekatz/introducing-npx-an-npm-package-runner-55f7d4bd282b) comes with npm 5.2+ and higher, see [instructions for older npm versions](https://gist.github.com/gaearon/4064d3c23a77c74a3614c498a8bb1c5f))* 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`.  ### Get Started Immediately[​](https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/#get-started-immediately "Direct link to heading") 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. ## Creating an App[​](https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/#creating-an-app "Direct link to heading") **You’ll need to have Node \>= 14 on your local development machine** (but it’s not required on the server). You can use [nvm](https://github.com/creationix/nvm#installation) (macOS/Linux) or [nvm-windows](https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows#node-version-manager-nvm-for-windows) to switch Node versions between different projects. To create a new app, you may choose one of the following methods: ### npx[​](https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/#npx "Direct link to heading") ``` npx create-react-app@latest my-app ``` Copy *([npx](https://medium.com/@maybekatz/introducing-npx-an-npm-package-runner-55f7d4bd282b) comes with npm 5.2+ and higher, see [instructions for older npm versions](https://gist.github.com/gaearon/4064d3c23a77c74a3614c498a8bb1c5f))* ### npm[​](https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/#npm "Direct link to heading") ``` npm init react-app my-app ``` Copy *`npm init <initializer>` is available in npm 6+* ### Yarn[​](https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/#yarn "Direct link to heading") ``` yarn create react-app my-app ``` Copy *`yarn create` is available in Yarn 0.25+* ### Selecting a template[​](https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/#selecting-a-template "Direct link to heading") You can now optionally start a new app from a template by appending `--template [template-name]` to the creation command. If you don't select a template, we'll create your project with our base template. Templates are always named in the format `cra-template-[template-name]`, however you only need to provide the `[template-name]` to the creation command. ``` npx create-react-app my-app --template [template-name] ``` Copy > You can find a list of available templates by searching for ["cra-template-\*"](https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=cra-template-*) on npm. Our [Custom Templates](https://create-react-app.dev/docs/custom-templates) documentation describes how you can build your own template. #### Creating a TypeScript app[​](https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/#creating-a-typescript-app "Direct link to heading") You can start a new TypeScript app using templates. To use our provided TypeScript template, append `--template typescript` to the creation command. ``` npx create-react-app my-app --template typescript ``` Copy If you already have a project and would like to add TypeScript, see our [Adding TypeScript](https://create-react-app.dev/docs/adding-typescript) documentation. ### Selecting a package manager[​](https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/#selecting-a-package-manager "Direct link to heading") When you create a new app, the CLI will use [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/) or [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/) to install dependencies, depending on which tool you use to run `create-react-app`. For example: ``` # Run this to use npm npx create-react-app my-app # Or run this to use yarn yarn create react-app my-app ``` Copy ## Output[​](https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/#output "Direct link to heading") Running any of these commands 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 │ ├── logo192.png │ ├── logo512.png │ ├── manifest.json │ └── robots.txt └── src ├── App.css ├── App.js ├── App.test.js ├── index.css ├── index.js ├── logo.svg ├── serviceWorker.js └── setupTests.js ``` Copy 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 ``` Copy ## Scripts[​](https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/#scripts "Direct link to heading") Inside the newly created project, you can run some built-in commands: ### `npm start` or `yarn start`[​](https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/#npm-start-or-yarn-start "Direct link to heading") Runs the app in development mode. Open <http://localhost:3000> to view it in the browser. The page will automatically reload if you make changes to the code. You will see the build errors and lint warnings in the console.  ### `npm test` or `yarn test`[​](https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/#npm-test-or-yarn-test "Direct link to heading") Runs the test watcher in an interactive mode. By default, runs tests related to files changed since the last commit. [Read more about testing](https://create-react-app.dev/docs/running-tests). ### `npm run build` or `yarn build`[​](https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/#npm-run-build-or-yarn-build "Direct link to heading") Builds the app for production to the `build` folder. It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance. The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes. Your app is ready to be deployed.
