📚 Installation Guide

Prerequisites

1. Node.js and npm: Ensure that Node.js and npm are installed on your machine. You can download them from Node.js website.

Installation Steps

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/bueno/react-text-marking-app.git

2. Navigate to the Project Directory:

   cd react-text-marking-app

3. Install Dependencies:

   npm install

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can use the scripts below:

1. Running the project

   npm start

   It runs the app in the development mode.
   Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in your browser.

   The page will reload when you make changes.
   You may also see any lint errors in the console.

2. Launching the test runner

   npm test

   Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
   See in the create-react-app the section about running tests for more information.

3. Building the app for production

   npm run build

   Builds the app for production to the build folder.
   It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

   The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
   Your app is ready to be deployed!

   See in the create-react-app the section about deployment for more information.

4. Removing the single build dependency from your project

   npm run eject

   Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can't go back!

   If you aren't satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.

   Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you're on your own.

   You don't have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn't feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn't be useful if you couldn't customize it when you are ready for it.
