# Setup

## Step 1: Install Node.js

Download the latest **LTS version** of Node.js from the [official website](https://nodejs.org/).

Once installed, open your terminal (macOS/Linux) or Command Prompt (Windows), and verify the installation with the following commands:

```bash
$ node --version
v22.14.0

$ npm --version
v11.3.0
```

> Your versions might differ slightly — that’s perfectly fine!

## Step 2: Create a New React App

Navigate to the folder where you’d like to create your project:

```bash
$ cd path/to/your/folder
```

Run the following command to create a new React project with TypeScript:

```bash
$ npx create-react-app my-app --template typescript <your-project-name>
```

This will take a few minutes to install dependencies. Once complete, navigate into your project folder:

```bash
$ cd <your-project-name>
```

To start the development server, run:

```bash
$ npm run start
```

Your React app should now be running on <http://localhost:3000>.
