Prerequisites

• Basic understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and TypeScript
• Install the React DevTools
• You should be experienced with building custom React components

System Requirements

• git v2.18 or greater
• NodeJS v18 or greater

All of these must be available in your PATH. To verify things are set up properly, you can run this:

git --version
node --version
npm --version

If you have trouble with any of these, learn more about the PATH environment variable and how to fix it here for windows or mac/linux.

Setup

This is a pretty large project (it's actually many apps in one) so it can take several minutes to get everything set up the first time. Please have a strong network connection before running the setup and grab a snack.

Warning: This repo is very large. Make sure you have a good internet connection before you start the setup process. The instructions below use --depth to limit the amount you download, but if you have a slow connection, or you pay for bandwidth, you may want to find a place with a better connection.

Follow these steps to get this set up:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/epicweb-dev/get-started-with-react-router.git
cd get-started-with-react-router
npm run setup

If you experience errors here, please open an issue with as many details as you can offer.
