Setup instructions for React with macOS

The following instructions will help you to get ready for ReactJS academy bootcamp:

  • Install a package manager
  • Install the text editor used by ReactJS developers
  • Install NodeJS and create-react-app
  • Pimp your Terminal
  • Up-to-date browser with React Developer Tools: Chrome or Firefox

Microsoft Visual Studio Code

You can use the editor of your choice but all the coaches are using VSCode.

Install it with brew or download it manually on the official website

$ brew cask install visual-studio-code

Inside VSCode, press ⌘+P, and enter:

ext install vscode-language-babel

Congratulations! You can install your first extention, it should be the top result.

Pimp your terminal
