b) execute” npm install express –save” from command prompt.

c) if …..AppData/roaming/npm-cashe/log file has any error then execute “npm cache clean –force”

after that again execute ” npm install express –save” to install express.js.

3.Install express application generator :npm install express-generator

-g
4.create an express app :express myapp
5.install dependencies :
a)cd myapp
b)npm install
6. Run the app :execute “set DEBUG=myapp & node .\bin\www”
7.Type in browser : http://localhost:3000

Full Configuration summary

Step 1:-Environment Setup

 Install Node.js and NPM.

 Install BABEL plugin. As a browser can not interpret JSX(Explained later in this tutorial), we
need to first convert it into JavaScript. BABEL will do it for us on a fly and take care of cross
browser compatibility.
 Open command prompt and type “npm install -g babel”
 Install Babel CLI by typing “npm install -g babel-cli”
 Install React
Type npm init
 Type “npm install react --save” in command prompt. --save will update the
package.json file with the packages.
 Type ”npm install react-dom --save” in command prompt.
 npm install --save bootstrap

 npm install --save reactstrap

 npm install axios
 npm install react-router-dom



 Install WEBPACK Bundler. WEBPACK bundler will bundle the dependencies & JSX
code together.
 Type “npm install webpack --save” in command prompt.
  Type “npm install webpack-dev-server --save” in command prompt.
 Install Babel dependencies(In the same folder which you have created in previous
step)
 Type “npm install babel-core --save” in command prompt.
 Type “npm install babel-loader --save” in command prompt.
 Type “npm install babel-preset-react --save” in command prompt.
 Type “npm install babel-preset-es2016 --save” in command prompt.

Step 2: Create project file.

You need to create following file in the src folder.

Webpack.config.js

Step 3: Configure webpack and babel.

In order to run your first app you need to instruct webpack on which file to target as entry point.
Also, we will configure babel loader to use es2016 and react presets which we have installed in
previous steps.

webpack.config.js

const path = require("path");

const config = {

entry: "./index.js",

output: {

path: path.resolve(__dirname, "dist"),

filename: "app.js"

},

module: {

loaders: [

test:/\.(js|jsx)$/,
loader: "babel-loader",
query: {

presets: ["react", "es2016"]

 }

};

module.exports = config;

Step 4: Update package.json

Update package.json's scripts section file with following script to start webpack. You must replace the test
script to start the webpack server. We don't need test script as we are not going to perform testing in this tutorial.

"scripts": {

"start":"webpack-dev-server --hot"
},

Step 7: Run your (Hello World) app

Run the app by executing command "npm start" in command prompt from runapp folder. You need
to look for the port number in the command prompt to know on which port the output has been
served.

Output:

The output will be serverd on targeting http://localhost:8081(Note:Port number may be different

for your project while creating http server.) in the browser in case your project has successfully
compiled. In case port number 8081 is busy then you need to look for the port number in
the command prompt to know on which port the output has been served.

The output which you will see in the browser is Hello World!
