In this video.
Let's set up our environment to get started with reactors.
It simply means that the tools we need before we can start to write or use react.
And the first thing we need to make sure you have been installed is called Node.js.
And if you have been following me to this point, I believe you already have Node.js being installed.
If you don't have it, download the Node.js source code or prebuilt installer for your platform and
start developing the day is in.
I mean, react is not just is an open source cross-platform JavaScript one time environment that executes
JavaScript outside of a browser.
That's the purpose of Nigeria is that we need to be installed.
And if you don't have not just been installed, then follow me.
So if you go to Google and visit Node.js dot org, it's great to you with this beautiful interface and
you can change the theme based on your preferences.
So we have two versions here, the ELTs and then the current little stable version and in the current
version.
All right.
So there are two versions here.
This one is the most recommended, simply means that for this one, all the APIs are stable.
That is stable version.
Right.
But for the current, it has the latest features but is not yet being implemented in the ltas.
So the current update of Node.js are being can be found under this.
So by the time of recording this video, this is a version that we are going to use and if you have
one, then you're good to go or what you need to do is click on that.
Because I did dictate on my, my operating system and that's why because our mark so I click on the
install line and I see that it's been downloaded here but I already have been installed.
So to make sure that we have not just been installed, open your terminal, right, and then type with
me.
Node does V and hit enter.
But at time of recording this video, this is the version that I'm using.
All right.
So you can install the exact version of Node.js as 16.1 5.0.
So that will be on the same pipeline.
That's the first thing you need to do.
Great.
So the next one is we need to install React JS and you have a dedicated video about how you're going
to install RE at JS.
For now, let's live it.
And the last thing is installed your text editor right.
And you have a couple of them sublime and many more about what you are going to use is called Visual
Studio code or is code for short.
So now that if you don't have these code holes to go to Google and then let's search for VTS code.
Right.
So V is good and let's get going.
All right.
Can go to code dot visual studio dot com and it can also download for your operating system.
So now we are good to go.
I have already downloaded that.
So it is no time to waste here to download again.
All right, guys.
So now that we are done about setting up our environment in the next video, let's start how we are
going to create our first React application.
So let's get rocking.
