Node.js and the npm
We'll also be using the npm. The npm is a very popular package that hosts almost all well-known Node.js and JavaScript packages. We need the npm to install React as well as the helper tools we will be using to build our React applications.
The npm typically gets distributed with Node.js. So, if you already have a recent version of Node.js installed on your computer, the npm should be there as well.
If you don't have Node.js already installed, please go to https://nodejs.org/en/ to install Node.js on your computer. Make sure that you have the latest versions of the tools involved. So, if you have Node, but it's an older version, go ahead and update it to a newer version.
