Setting up React Project with Vite on Linux

If you are looking to set up a React project with Vite on Linux, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, we will walk you through the steps to get started.

Step 1: Install Node.js and npm

First, make sure you have Node.js and npm installed on your Linux machine. You can check if you have them installed by running the following commands:

node --version
npm --version

If you don’t have Node.js and npm installed, you can install them by following the instructions on their official websites.

Step 2: Install Vite

Next, you need to install Vite, which is a fast build tool for modern web development. You can do this by running the following command:

npm install -g create-vite

Step 3: Create a new React project with Vite

Now that you have Vite installed, you can create a new React project by running the following command:

create-vite my-react-app --template react

This will create a new React project in a folder named my-react-app with all the necessary files and dependencies.

Step 4: Start the development server

Once the project is created, navigate to the project folder and start the development server by running the following command:

cd my-react-app
npm run dev

This command will start the development server and you can now view your React project in the browser at http://localhost:3000.

Step 5: Build and deploy your project

Once you have made all the necessary changes to your project, you can build it for production by running the following command:

npm run build

This will create a production-ready build of your React project that you can deploy to a web server.

And there you have it! You have successfully set up a React project with Vite on your Linux machine. Happy coding!
