Setting up the Project

First you'll need Node.js and the package manager that comes with it: npm.

Once you've got that working, head to the command line where we'll set up our project.

Clone the Tutorial

git clone <tutorial url>
cd react-router-tutorial
git checkout start
npm start

Now open up http://localhost:8080

Feel free to poke around the code to see how we're using webpack and npm scripts to run the app.

You should see a "Hello React Router" message in the browser.

Make Some Changes

Open up modules/App.js and change the text to something like "Hello ". The browser automatically reloads with your new code.
