Unzip and open the folder of the React template with your favourite editor (I am using VSCode).
These React templates are bootstrapped with Create React App, and Craco for overriding the default CRA Webpack configuration.
The first thing to do is to install NPM dependencies. To do that, open the terminal, type npm install and press the Enter key.

Unfortunately we do not provide support with product customisation, tutorials/guides for non-technical people, neither do we guarantee that our products will be compatible with third party software or services.
Start a development server
Run npm start or yarn start in the terminal to run a development server and open http://localhost:3000/ to view it in the browser. The page will reload every time you make edits.
Any kind of change should be made inside the src folder. Inside that, you will find components, alongside with styles (src/css), images (src/images), and some JavaScript (src/js).
CSS customisations
There isn’t much to say about the CSS when it comes to templates that are built on the top of Tailwind CSS, so I would recommend to check out the Tailwind documentation.
Files structure
All React component files are stored in the src/ folder 👇
src/
│
├── pages/
│ (contains site pages)
│
├── partials/
│ (e.g. header, footer, page sections, etc)
│
└── utils/
(contains more units, like modal, dropddown, etc)Add or remove pages
Every template comes with a set of ready-made pages, provided in form of components and stored into the src/pages/ directory.
Router settings are defined in src/App.js file so, in case you want to add or remove pages, you should need to add or remove routes in that file. Check out the React Router documentation to know more.
Build the app for production
When you have done with changes, run npm run build or yarn build for compiling and minify for production. You can learn more on the Create React App documentation.
