## How to Install node.js

Step 1: Go to https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/current

and click on the prebuilt installer.

Step 2: Download the installer and follow the prompts to install node.js without making any changes to the default settings.

Step 3: After installation, open a command prompt and run "node --version" or "node -v" to verify the installation. If successful, install the create-react-app script using the command "npm install create-react-app -g" (the -g flag installs the package globally).

_Step 4: _To verify the installation of create-react-app, type "create-react-app -h" in the command prompt.

_Step 5: _With the create-react-app installed, you can create a new react application in your desired folder by navigating to the folder location in the command prompt and running *"create-react-app name-of-project" *,

mine will be *"create-react-app cookies" *

(Note: It must start with a small letter and may take some time to complete the creation process).

it will take a while before it creates, hold on to it

Because React is robust it will take a while please make sure your internet is connected

Step 6: Once the application is created, you will see a "happy hacking" message. You can then open the project folder with VSCode.

Just like this👆

your folder, very important you know where your folder is stored, I always stored mine in my desktop files

## Challenges you may encounter during this process

1. Unusual Interruption: Due to the robust nature of React, interruptions could occur during the creation process. This can be due to internet connection issues or a bad network, as React requires an internet download of 200MB or more.

2. Error in Commands: Common issues include mistyping commands, such as using "NPM" instead of "npm," or adding extra spaces in commands like "Create-react-app name-of-project." please let is to be like this "Create-react-app name-of-project." or one use capital letter instead of small letter

3. Understanding JavaScript: It is important to have a basic understanding of JavaScript, as React uses JavaScript syntax and JSX language. You can learn JavaScript basics from resources like W3 and YouTube.
