3.1 Creating a New Project
Open your terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where you want to create your project. Then, run the following command:
npx create-my-app my-first-project
This command will download the necessary templates and dependencies, and set up a new project directory named my-first-project.
3.2 Running the Development Server
Navigate into your new project directory:
cd my-first-project
Now, start the development server:

This will compile your project and start a local development server. You can usually access your application by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000 (the port may vary).
4. Understanding the Project Structure
Inside your my-first-project directory, you'll find a standard project structure:
src/: Contains all your application's source code.public/: Holds static assets like images and the main HTML file.package.json: Lists project dependencies and scripts.
The main entry point for your application is typically found in src/index.js or src/App.js.
